galea was a Roman soldier’s helmet. Some gladiators, myrmillones, also wore a
bronze galea with a face mask and a decoration, often a fish on its crest.[1] 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. 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
