it still doesn't make sense to me, why the change?
Maybe people who wore both types of helmets in reanacting, can shed some light on it?
To me it seems, that the Montefortino is more comfortable to wear.
Did the Imperial and Gallic helmets really provide that much more of protection?
And was so much protection of the neck necessary? Because for that head movement needs to be sacrificed.
Also why the switch from the Imperial- Gallic helmets to the Intercisa helmets of late antiquity? Was it cheaper to produce? Or were there other considerations behind it?
