Greek & Roman Helmets - Corinthians, Galeas & Spartan

About

Greek & Roman Helmets The ancient world helmet is the most recognisable silhouette in armour. A Corinthian profile reads as Greek before anyone sees the rest of the kit. A Galea crest reads as Roman from the back of the field. These are the helmets that costume designers reach for when they need a single image to do all the work. We make steel Greek and Roman helmets for larp, festival, reenactment, and display. Hand-shaped mild steel, padded leather liner inside every piece, leather chin strap, built lighter than their historical counterparts so you can wear one through a full event rather than just photograph it. The range covers the iconic styles from both cultures, plus a couple of ancient world pieces from further east. Browse by style Greek helmets - Hoplite and warrior helmets from archaic and classical Greece. Mostly closed-faced, mostly bronze in period but we make them in steel for durability. Corinthian Helmet - The defining Greek silhouette. Full coverage, characteristic nose-guard and cheek pieces, narrow eye slits. What you picture when you picture a Greek hoplite. Corinthian Helmet with Plume - Same shell, transverse plume across the crown. The officer's version. Reads as commander rather than rank-and-file warrior. Spartan Helmet (PU) - Our one polyurethane piece in this range, and a deliberate choice. PU weighs a fraction of steel, photographs nearly identically, and stays comfortable through hot-weather events where a steel Greek helmet would cook. The right answer for summer larp, Mediterranean festivals, and anyone who wants the look without the load. Maintenance-free, no rust, no oiling. Roman helmets (Galea) Galea is the Latin word for the Roman military helmet. The shapes evolved over centuries, from the Republican-era Montefortino through the Imperial Gallic helmets of the early Empire and on into the late Roman ridge helmets. Ours sit in the iconic Imperial Roman tradition, the legionary look most people picture. Galea Roman Helmet - Sta
