"Duck billed" helmets in Rome - richsc - 01-19-2016
OK, I just have to ask: where did these peculiar helmets seen mainly on Gruppo Storico Romano come from? I have nicknamed them 'duck billed' because the neck guard is so high up and shaped. On some it even seems to point up.

That guy is a bit rusty. His Centurion should have him flogged.
