Western Helm • Dimensions • 14 1/4'' Tall • Front to Back (Head Dome) 8 1/2'' • Side to Side: (Head Dome) 8'' • 26'' Circumference • 4 lb 14.7 oz • 18 Gauge Steel • The Late Roman army took a radical departure with its helmets in the late 3rd Century - the Gallic-Italic helmet was abandoned for the Intercisa and Spangenhelm. These helmets were copied by the Romans after conflict with the Sassanid Persians and the Sarmatians. These helmets may have been adopted because they were easier to make - the dome being several riveted pieces as opposed to a single piece of well-formed metal. The late Roman army was a mixed conscript and mercenary force, a highly unpopular departure from the well compensated, often volunteer forces of the ‘’Marian’’ Legion. These large numbers of men would need to be equipped en-masse by the increasingly cash-strapped coffers of the later, over-extended Empire. • Regardless of the economics, the intercisa helmets were still good, functional helmets, particularly ones such as this cavalry example which have the nose and brow guard. Hinged plates still provide protection to the face and neck and the helmet as a whole is an easier sum of the parts to construct, as opposed to the more elaborate, final forms of the Gallic-Italic helmet. In this Late-Roman helmet you can see the model for the war helmets that would be used in the migration era after the Western Roman Empire, and you can also see the beginning of the forms of the early medieval helmet. • This Late Roman Cavalry Intercisa helmet is made from thick gauge high carbon steel with brass rivets. The interior is lined with brown leather and has integrated leather suspension. • Eastern Helm • Dimensions: • Front to Back: 8 1/4'' • Side to Side: 7 1/2'' • Interior Circumference: 25'' • 18 Gauge Steel • 2 lb 8.9 oz • This Late Roman Intercisa Helm is crafted from 18 gauge steel; the entirety of the interior of the helm is lined with quality leather and it also has an integrated leather suspension liner that can be adjusted to size. • The cheekplates and neck guard are both fitted to the helmet with thick and solidly riveted leather tabs; they are also lined and edged with leather. A set of small steel rings are riveted to the cheekplates and these are used to tie a chinstrap into place - a leather cord for this purpose is included with the helm. • http://www.kultofathena.com/product.a... • http://www.kultofathena.com/product.a... • http://www.kultofathena.com/product.a... • https://www.celticwebmerchant.com/en/... • https://www.celticwebmerchant.com/en/... • https://www.facebook.com/Celtic-Templ...
