The title was already used during the Roman Republic for the guards of Roman generals. Unfortunately there are no original helmet findings. This version is modeled on one of many traditional drawings of Roman stone reliefs. This helmet is made of steel with brass finish and is truly a centre-piece because of its rich ornamentation. It has got two cheek guards from brass, a red plume made of horsehair and an adjustable liner from leather.
