There is no system regarding helmet crest colours attested for later times. Depictions portray them in as much random fashion as clothing colours. Polybius describes crests as being black and red/purple. Later evidence includes a wider range of colours. Shield edging was, again according to the description by Polybius, made of iron.<br>
