Quote:In the first century AD, what kind of armour did archers wear?
I put together some info on the Hamians here..
http://www.romanarmy.net/hamians.htm
there's a couple of photos and details of helmets there.
The helmet you posted a pic of above is a reconstruction of this helmet. Looks later than first Century to me (?) The cheek guards are reminiscent of 6th century Spangenhelms such as the Baldenheim and Krefeld examples.
