Battle Merchant - Imperial Gallic A Nijmegen Steel

Type according to H.R. Robinson: Imperial Gallic A Continental Classifiapproxtion: Type Weisenau - Nijmegen

Earliest helmet of the Wisenau type, a line that was further developed over more than two centuries to the "Niedermörmter" and shapes today's image of the 'Roman legionary'.

The helmet already has simple but pronounced "eyebrows". They were typiapproxl of the "Gallic" models of the Imperial era and increased stability. Ear cutouts are also available, although they do not yet include the later introduced ear protection plates. The headband is particularly solid and heavy. When looking at images of the original, one wonders if the helmet doesn't constantly slip down onto the wearer's forehead.

Deepeeka's detailed reconstruction of the find from Nijmegen (Netherlands) now proves that the helmet is overall very well-balanced and comfortable to wear despite the massive metal bracket

Dating: Mainly at the end of the 1. century BC to first half of the 1th. "century AD". The original was found together with pottery from the time of Emperor Augustus. Timely therefore fitting to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (9. AD
