Hi,
I am new on the Forum (first day !) but crazy about roman history for many years.
I belonged to the Foederati (5th c. AD) but I want now to concentrate on early 3rd century AD even if I am not a specialist of this period. If you can answer my questions, I would really appreciate :
- do you think I can use a Auxiliary E or a Niedermörmter helmet as a soldier of the reign of Septimus Severus or Caracalla ?
- there is a debate whether the Auxiliary E was "infantry" or "cavalry" helmet ? Any clue ?
- Niedermörmter replicas are either brass or steel ... What material is the original Niedermörmter made from ?
Many thanks in advance.
