hello, first post.
planning on commissioning a helmet for full contact gladiator combat (as a provocator) and was wondering if anyone had worn a helmet of the type shown here:

i haven't seen any copies on the various groups webpages and was wondering about the advantages/disadvantages compared with the usual Imperial Gallic skull w/ pierced occulars.
this will be for SCA rattan combat (fighting w/ them the last 14 years). we've had a few -bad- gladiator personae and i want to put some effort into doing it as right as i'm able given the group's limitations.
RAT is an amazing resource, i've been lurking for some time.
