„It was restored several times already in the Roman
period since it was successively covered with three
decorative metal sheets. The first was silvered with
a punched vegetal
decoration, the second layer was
of gilded silver
while the last was again a silver
sheet with a punched decoration. In all likelihood
this helmet was reconstructed and redecorated on
three different
occasions by its owner or even several
owners. This would point to a rather long period
of use for this helmet…”
Transformation of this Centurio helmet from Sisak.
As it is described from Mr.Radman, that this Gallic helmet type F (similar to this Nijmegen model ) has undergone transformation from a simple basic type F helmet to a richly decorated centurion helmet. This was perhaps happened in three (or more) stages as these improvements have cost quite denarius (roman silver coins ) to his owners. But this was not a big problem given the high (compared with ordinary legionnaire) salary (and the various benefits)of the centurion.
