Roman Centurion Helmet With White Plume and 50 similar items

ROMAN CENTURION HELMET WITH WHITE PLUME This Roman Centurion Helmet is from 100 B.C. to 300 A.D. The main officers of the Imperial Roman guard were the Centurions, each in charge of 100 men, hence the name century. These Centurion generals wore adorned plumed helms that could be easily seen in battle. This full size historical hand crafted helm is in every way as glorious as the originals with its full crest and brass accents. This Imperial Gaelic-Type helmet was the choice of officers who led the mighty Roman armies. The flamboyant crest actually served a purpose for the conspicuously practical Romans. It made the officer more visible to his men while offering the illusion of height that helped him appear more commanding. At different time periods of its use, the color of the plume signified different things.
