New Late Roman Helmet from the Fernpass, Austria
#95
Quote:I still think its all feels a bit dodgy...the extraordinary state of preservation- the raising from one piece and then the bizarre random brow band decoration plus the odd cheek guards....

If you'd remove the brow guard, how 'Roman' would this one seem?
