I was thinking about padding my Phrygian helmet and I have seen this post. I have never used a cap under the helmet only some "accidental" padding on the upper part to fix it correctly to my head. Then I saw the paddings of some roman helmets and it inspired me to do it in my own helmet. I thought about covering with leather the red area marked in the photo and to use a pad like the one is used in roman ones (you can see it in the pic).
But I like the idea of the Phrygian cap under the helmet, then I would like to know what solution do you think is the best. Should I pad the helmet in the "roman way" or should only cover with leather some parts using the Phrygian cap instead of the other pad?
