This highly detailed miniature is of a legionary centurion's helmet, of the time of the Emperor Vespasian, circa 75AD. The helmet would have had a crest of horsehair and would have been worn with silver scale cuuirass (body armour) and decorated greaves, to protect his legs.

The Roman Centurion Helmet is made from lead-free pewter and supplied in a clear acetate box with an historical information card.
