A Roman centurion officer's helmet was inspired by one of the fiercest warrior groups ever to go down in history. They came to power in ancient Greece and the Romans and went from victory to victory. This authentic replica with a size 20 steel construction offers excellent head, face and neck guard.
The centurions were the most important professional officers in the armies of ancient Rome and its empire. A centurion was in command of the centurium, the smallest unit of the Roman legion. The captain commanded a unit of around 100 legionnaires and was also responsible for the distribution of tasks, the execution of sentences and various administrative tasks, which ranged from distributing camp slogans to accompanying prisoners. Centurions often wore a helmet (galea) with a distinctive cross crest (crista transversa) and a coat of arms.
