Crests and Roman Soldiers

[Robert Vermaat]

A new article by Christian Miks talks about the abundance of crests on late roman helmets. There are many known metal examples, which were fastened to the slots that were cut into the ridge. The crests could be affixed later if required.

Interesting! Reference? A copy, perhaps? :wink:

This was not just for Intercisa helmets, but also the Berkasovo type helmets with the long narrow cheak pieces.

The Berkasovo had the broad cheek pieces, the Intercisa had the narrow ones.
