Hi Guys
I've just joined the forum. So hello! My name is Steve, I'm from the north west of the UK and I'm helmet and armour mad. Not just Roman, anything really. Film stuff, historic stuff. basically, if it's some sort of outfit that includes armour and a helmet - I'm sold!
I'm a big movie fan. I have a converted loft full of movies replicas that I have made over the years, including characters from Predator, Star Wars and Terminator. However, I have always been interested in history too. As a kid I had a coin collection (don't laugh!) which included alot of Roman stuff. As an adult, I have used my vacations to visit places of interest, notably Pompeii in 2001, which was incredible.
I have just purchased my first Roman helmet from Deepeka, a first century, plain helmet which I dig because it's probably what the 'grunts' or Auxiliaries wore (correct me if I'm wrong - I'm a noob after all!).
I'm also looking at getting some Lorica Segmentata to display with the helmet.
Anyway, enough waffling!
Steve
