soldier’s helmet. Some gladiators, myrmillones, also wore a bronze galea with a
face mask and a decoration, often a fish on its crest. The exact form or design of
the helmet varied significantly over time, between differing unit types, and also
between individual examples – pre-industrial production was by hand – so it is not
certain to what degree there was any standardization even under the Roman
Empire.Originally, Roman helmets were influenced by the neighboring Etruscans,
people who utilised the “Nasua” type helmets. The Greeks in the south also
influenced Roman design in the early history of Rome. For instance, the ancestor
of the Chalcidian helmet, the Attic helmet, was widely used by officers until the
end of the empire.[2] Lastly, the Gauls were the peoples who most impacted the
design of the Roman helmet hence the popular “Imperial Gallic” type helmets. In
addition to this, it is commonly thought that the Gauls also introduced chainmail
to the Romans. The primary evidence is scattered archaeological finds, which are
often damaged or incomplete. There are similarities of form and function between
them.
