Quote:Hi Svenja, thanks for the hint, but if you refer to the helmet pictured here:

Yes, that is the helmet which I was talking about. I just wonder if there was in the Republican era a difference between gladiator helmets and military helmets at all since at that time gladiatorial helmets have not had the visor yet but also only cheek guards like military helmets.
