Were Late Roman Ridge Helmets Really lined in Leather?
#7
Quote:I guess there is no evidence of a leather or cloth padded cap of some sort is there? I tried to find something but no luck. :|
The Deurne helmet had 'hair' inside it when recovered. Of course we cannot be sure, but this could have been the remains of a felt cap.

I updated my initial reply with some images.
