You're welcome, Marivs.
No, I think you're right on. I suspect it's the former option you mentioned because late Roman helmets attach leather liners the same way.
You have great ambitions for your helmet from what I'm hearing so far. You should check out T M Valerius' helmet. He's got a lot of embossing on his Attic (he's from Legion VI).
I hope I can help answer more of your questions in the future.

Quote:Also, concerning the holes and the trim… it could be leather wrap from underneath (i.e. helmet padding) or it could be solid gold that might have been bent around and added as trim with the holes hammered to further tally up the aesthetics. (or I could be totally off base!)
