Helmet: chin strap and padding

[Matthew Amt]

Any type of helmet would have some sort of padding, whether it's a built-in lining or just the wearer's hair. Looks like the Greeks used a headband or cap most often, though the fit of a modern repro helmet may require some glued-in padding.

I think most original helmets have a pair of holes for a chinstrap. Most likely just a thong or cord, tied under the chin. Should work.

Armae's helmets are mostly from Deepeeka. The Chalcidian is pretty good, though I don't remember if it has problems of accuracy, proportions, or what. And it's presumably brass, rather than bronze, though that may be as close as we can get without having the helmet custom-made. Unfortunately, Deepeeka doesn't make a pilos helmet, though we should bug them to do so! It ought to be easy for them.

Welcome, by the way! Khaire,
