Corinthian Helmet

This is a Copy of a Corinthian helmet that was used from 8thC BC to 1stC AD 

The helmet was worn by Greek Hoplites (Greek Citizen Soldiers) and got its name from Corinthia, an ancient Greek city-state.


The helmet would have been made from bronze, this copy is made of pressed steel and coloured to look the part.


Not all Corinthian helmets have plumes however this copy does, this would have been made of horsehair.


This helmet is not mine as it was donated to our club.
