Legate/Tribune helmet hunt - QVINTVS ARTORIVS CORVINVS - 10-28-2008
Does anyone know where I can get a decent Legate helmet, like Deepeeka AH 6210 or better?
Thanks,
Phillip

I have been searching for one as well. I do not believe i have seen that deepeeka model you listed. Do you have a pic or a link?

Hey Phillip...you still looking for a centurion's vitus? I spoke to my buddy who works at the winery, and they trim and prune the vines in the winter. Anyway, he said I can have as many as I want...so if you're still interested and can wait till the snow falls, lemme know.

Thanks Jim... I wonder if that is a Deepeeka?
Also wondering how slaughtered I would get with shipping from there :roll:

Well, its $100 to the UK. If you sign in, the postage should be pre-calculated for you.

We could order it, I know Deepeeka has some in country, I am just behind adding stuff to the website. We saw it up close at Roman days and I think I even took some pics of it.

Here are a few pictures of the Tribune Helmet from Roman Days that Rusty mentioned.

Damn... that is pretty sweet! Is that the next gen version?
And I wonder what the price would be on such a beasty?
Re: Legate/Tribune helmet hunt - Tarbicus - 10-30-2008
Why are these attributed to tribunes and legates? Is it Hollywood? I can't think of a single representation of a tribune, legate, or even Emperor wearing one of these, but plenty of Praetorians and unallocated troops.
Re: Legate/Tribune helmet hunt - Magnus - 10-30-2008
I was going to ask the same thing...I'd personally prefer the Greek style attic helmet with a nice plume. (available thru deepeeka)
Actually, a legate or tribune impression could probably get away with not wearing any helmet...?
Re: Legate/Tribune helmet hunt - Gaius Julius Caesar - 10-30-2008
Why? Because most identifiable representations of these people are shown bear headed?
I wouldn't go into battle bear headed!
Hell, I wouldn't even go into battle without a scutum, especially if I was a centurion or above...
hock: :o Our 'leader' was well knackered at the Wickerman by a Caledonian witch
armed only with a wooden pole...poor bas*^£d!!

Consider how most Lords and Dukes (or higher) have their portraits taken in full armour sans helmet... Show off the splendour of your armour, but with a helmet on for the portrait, who would know it is you?
Anyone ever poke their heads through one of those painting standups at Disney? :wink:

Quote:I was going to ask the same thing...I'd personally prefer the Greek style attic helmet with a nice plume. (available thru deepeeka)You know, Matt, I absolutely agree with you there. Surely all representations of tribunes and legates (if they can be identified) are wearing Hellenistic helmets?
Actually, a legate or tribune impression could probably get away with not wearing any helmet...?
This type of helm (if it actually existed in reality) is surely a common soldier's helmet, and I include Praetorians in that catch-all.
