Quote:Are the Buch helmets strictly cavalry? I was hoping infantry wore them as well as I rather like the overall design and appearance.
The idea that 3rd-century helmets with 'closed' ears were strictly cavalry has been pretty much discarded now I believe.
Buch itself was probably an infantry fort. The helmet was in an unfinished state, so would presumably have been intended for one of the garrison.
