Hi All,
I'm looking to get a Roman helmet. Nothing too fancy - if I could chose my perfect period it would be reign of Vespasian or his sons. In a perfect world I'd avoid the Gallic A simply because it looks a little too boring. (I know - wants something "not too fancy" but then thinks the Gallic A is "too boring" - already contradicting myself!)
I'm looking at the armamentaria website at the moment (having heard its reliably authentic) and looking at the <£200 price range.
Limiting factor is that I have a large head - about 24.5" in circumference meaning that I always automatically chose the largest motorbike helmet going but not so large that I can't normally find one.
Any guidance or help appreciated.
