Continental Saxon helmets

[Robert Vermaat]

We can probably assume that the Saxons of the 3rd-5th century shared the same sort of material culture as their neighbours to the east on the Baltic coast. The deposits found at Vimose, Illerup and Nydam contain a lot of military gear, both of Roman and barbarian origin, dating from the Antonine era to the mid 4th century, but there's no sign of helmets (and only one example of body armour - a mail shirt probably also of Roman origin).

Perhaps the Groningen helmet?
