H.R.Robinson Helmet Typology - Robert - 04-08-2013 I would assume there are far fewer helmets found then swords. How many to date? 60 - 70? So I do believe we could use a more simple classification. No two helmets are exactly the same, so I would be interested in the variations within one group, as that would indicate the amount of freedom in replica's in a given type.

Basically, my opinion was/is that most of the Imperial Italic and Auxiliary Cavalry hemets of Robinson are infantry hemets of the same family as the Imperial Gallic, continuing this family into the 3rd century. The main series would run as follows:
Next to the main series, there are sub-series, such as the brass panneled (Imperial Italic D, Guttman mouse helmet and Auxiliary cavalry type H from Heddernheim. Another sub-series would be silver-panneled helmets such as the Imperial Italic E[?], Imperial Italic H from Nijmegen. |
