He seems to be wearing one of the new additions to the helmet database.... Smile

Nice! Glad to see that one made it in the database....one of my personal favorites! I'm debating wether to get the recreation of that or the witcham gravel helmet for my 2nd century cavalry impression. The helmet shown on the coin is a very interesting representation. I can't tell wether those are cheek pieces or facial hair. Otherwise it looks very hellenistic.
