Helmet Qs

[Coenwulf]

Take a look at the helmet section in Matthew Amt's Legion Handbook on the Legio XX website. It has a lot of info and some really good links. Then here are a few others: The Artists Blacksmith Assn at www.abana.org , its' British equivalent at www.baba.org and the Blacksmith Guild of Central Maryland at www.bgcmonline.org links page. If you want to get into blacksmithing the Roman world, joining a local blacksmith guild is a good way to learn the basics, particularly in regard to safety.
