Imperial Rome Centurion Guard Helmet / Front To Back Crested Roman Officer's Helmet - 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 handcrafted 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.  During some periods the color specified the officers rank, and at other times it designated units. The colors could be red, white, black, brown, reddish brown and others, as well as two or more colors mixed.  At times the plume would run from front to back, and at other times it would be mounted crossways. 

Hand made, high carbon steel and fully wearable.

However, sponsors or the audience could ask for other combinations, such as several gladiators fighting together or specific gladiators against each other even from the outside of established troupe.
