OK, I just have to ask: where did these peculiar helmets seen mainly on Gruppo Storico Romano come from? I have nicknamed them 'duck billed' because the neck guard is so high up and shaped. On some it even seems to point up.

Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
