Imperial Italic helmet 'D' Krefeld, 2nd century

Imperial Italic helmet 'D' Krefeld, steel and brass, 2nd century

• Type by HR Robinson: Imperial Italic D
• Continental Classification: Type Weisenau-Krefeld

This helmet uniquely combines various style elements:

• "eye" ornaments with embossed pupils (as encountered in pre-roman helmets)
• embossed eyebrows (similar to Imperial Gallic types)
• cross-shaped reinforcement of Imerial Italic type
• nape visor with angular ornamentation, handle and "tabula ansata"

Since the original's jowl flaps were missing, they are designed here following the Imperial Italic D helmet from Worms.

Age determination: Style points to 200 a.d., though use in late 100s is also possible. Since there were no other dateable objects found nearby, it cannot be proven, that the helmet was lost during the Bataver revolt.

Deepeekas elaborate reconstruction is the result of intensive international cooperation and replicates this unusual helmet to greatest detail.
