The Corinthian originated in the 7th C. before Chr. and is the typical picture of the greek helmet to this day. It's origins are in the city of Corinth. It quickly became a fixed part of the greek Hoplite armour and its use extendet as far as Italy, where, with a few modifications, it became one of the more popular helmets for the troops of the roman republic.

It is richly adorned: there are mythical creatures on the sides (by the looks of it a mix of horse and snake) and a portrait of a woman's head on the forehead, made of brass.

The scope of delivery contains a big, natural colored plume, which is fastened with metal sheets on the helmet. It also contains a padded cap.
