Praetorian guard helmet made of brass and leather, handmade
The Praetorian Guard (Praetorians) were the bodyguard of the Roman emperors. The title was already used during the Roman Republic for the guard of Roman generals.
Unfortunately, there are no original finds of the helmet. This version was modeled after one of the many traditional drawings on Roman stone reliefs.
This helmet is made of brass and is truly a centerpiece due to its rich ornamentation. It has two brass cheek pads, a red horsehair plume, and an adjustable leather lining.
