  Celtic Helmet (Forêt de Rouvray Pattern)

  SKU: AH6099

  This helmet references a find from the Forêt de Rouvray in France, part of the broader Montefortino-related family of Celtic helmets that spread across Iron Age Gaul. Montefortino-form helmets, with their conical or rounded profile and raised central knob, were carried by Celtic tribes throughout Western Europe long before Rome adopted the same basic design. The find reflects the widespread reach of this helmet tradition across Gaul, contributing to the archaeological record documenting Celtic military equipment before and during Rome's conquest of the region.

  Spartan Helmet, with Plume

  SKU: AH6078P/H042P

  This helmet reflects the equipment of the Spartan army, whose citizens — trained from childhood in the famously demanding agoge system — formed the core of one of the ancient world's most feared military forces. Spartan hoplites typically carried a version of the Corinthian helmet, its enclosed bronze form offering strong protection within the tightly packed ranks of the phalanx formation Sparta's army was built around. A horsehair plume, often dyed a distinctive red associated with Spartan military dress, added both visual presence and a further mark of status to the wearer.

  Archer’s Domed Helmet

  SKU: RTU788

  This domed helmet reflects the practical, economical protection worn by Medieval archers, whose need for a clear line of sight and good hearing shaped their equipment choices. Unlike the fully enclosing great helm favoured by mounted knights, archers generally wore lighter, more open helmets suited to drawing a bow and tracking targets. Its rounded profile offered reliable protection without compromising the visibility and mobility an archer's role demanded.

  Italo-Corinthian Helmet, Iron

  SKU: AH6058I/H005

  The Italo-Corinthian helmet developed a distinctive silhouette after Italian warriors took to wearing the classical Corinthian helmet pushed up on the forehead, even in the thick of battle, for a clearer view and better hearing. This eventually transformed the once face-covering visor into a purely decorative feature, while the helmet itself came to be worn more like a cap than a fully enclosing helm. This iron construction reflects the material used for many genuine surviving examples of the type.
