Choose options
This beautiful Roman helmet is a replica of a 1st century find (ca. 50-75 AD), which was found in 1870 by peat cutters near Witcham Gravel, Cambridgeshire, England, was excavated and can now be admired in the British Museum in London.
The largely preserved original, which was classified as a Roman auxiliary cavalry helmet of type B, consisted of an iron core (now almost completely corroded) with a partial outer shell made of bronze (copper alloy, tinned). Traces in the crown area indicate that the helmet originally had a helmet cap. Although this artifact has some identifying features typical of a so-called Imperial Gallic or Gallic helmet (sloping neck guard, cheek pieces with circular decorative rosettes), it is the only surviving example of a type B helmet. This uniqueness lies in the presence of large hollow hemispheres or humps made of bronze adorning the neck guard and the helmet bell. Due to the characteristic shape of these humps , reminiscent of bicycle bells, this rare piece was nicknamed the bicycle bells helmet in England.
This reconstruction of the Roman auxiliary cavalry helmet from Witcham Gravel with movable flaps is made of 1.2 mm polished steel and richly decorated with brass applications. Since the helmet does not have a built-in liner, the use of an additional padded hood is recommended so that it can be worn comfortably. Small rings on the inside of the cheek flaps offer the option of attaching a chin strap (not included). - Material: 1.2 mm steel with brass fittings, horsehair helmet plume with wooden frame - Suitable for a head circumference of up to approx. 63 cm
The yellow crista , which is based on a reference in Ars Tactica by the Greek historian Arrian, has a red lacquered wooden frame and can be fixed to the pre-drilled dome thanks to the 3 screws supplied.
Details:
- Long inner distance (back of head to forehead): approx.23 cm

MariaTodo genial. Envío rápido y el producto de calidad
HectorRecreación increíble de una de las armas que me producen más nostalgia de mi videojuego favorito. Si te gusta Final Fantasy VIII, merece la pena, si te gustan los modelos exóticos de espadas, también.

SAULLa katana de Zenitsu con hoja de madera de bambú zs653w es muy bonita y es de gran calidad. Parece una katana de verdad incluso al desenvainarla pero es inofensiva, con lo cual es un regalo perfecto para para amantes del manga tanto para decoración como para cosplay. El catanero de madera con "DemoN SlayeR" y "KIMETSU NO YAIBA" y los apoyos para katana y para el mueble en fieltro le dan un toque de calidad
Isabel MaríaMe gustó mucho el producto ya que estuvo muy bien cuidado y hecho y el envío me gustó que fueran avisando por donde iba el envío y además la katana es igualita a la de la serie demon slayer
ManuelProducto muy conseguido, increíble réplica
IvanMuy buena katana, me encantó y pude exhibirla en el salón del manga bcn, lo único malo es que cuando quieres enfundarla hay que moverla de lado a lado para que se quede dentro de la funda, todo lo demás 10/10
JorgeMuy bueno
