Roman helmet linings? - Len Campey - 08-20-2018
Hi all
My helmet fits me perfect but raw steel against my head is probably not a good idea!
Any tips on lining for inside helmet and cheek guards please?
Thanks
Len

Sheepskin / leather lining would probably be most authentic. A wool felt cap or a cap made of linen filled with loose wool also works and would be suitable.
