I cannot picture anyone wearing the first piece of junk unless its for a goofy looking team mascot. It goes to show every country has its own little "five minutes and I made a helm for sale, buy it its historically accurate just like the midevil people wore" places.

It appears that customers who bought that helmet also bought the Intercissa helmet, earrings and a plaid corset as well!!!

I always thought the Late Romans were a funny lot! :wink:

Forgive me as I'm not overly familiar with Roman kit yet but does the Tassled Beanie with Matching Gloves go over or under the helmet?

You know I was wrong. The helmet is a universally good buy. Made to go great with a kilt, Conan style furry britches, or modern day assless chaps. Who can go wrong?

Interesting. It appears to be the "Pioneer Helm" with a "sort of" Sutton Hoo face mask. Here are pis of both:

You know Hugh I was kind of thinking the same thing, but decided not to comment. Not really a good version of either though. I haven't seen many pieces with longer cheekguards. The cheekguards look so long you may as well call them a side neckguard.

The question is not "Sutton Hoo?". In this case it's "Sutton Why?".
