The maximum length from front to back is about 34 cm, while the neckplate measures around 25 cm wide, providing exquisite coverage. Cheek plates of approximately 15×12 cm protect the sides of your face without hindering your field of vision. To guarantee your helmet stays secure during intense battles, a sturdy chin strap, adorned with a lovely buckle, keeps it firmly in place.

This helmet not only provides unparalleled protection but also showcases the artistry of ancient Roman craftsmanship. Each piece is treated with a layer of protective oil when packaged, preventing corrosion until it reaches you. This essential coating can easily be removed with an oil remover or dry cloth, ensuring your helmet is pristine for your next event.
