This
highly detailed miniature is of a legionary centurion's helmet of the time
of the emperor Vespasian. The helmet would have had a crest of horsehair and
would have been worn with silver-scale cuirass (body armour) and decorated
greaves to protect his legs. The thimble is 28mm tall and is manufactured in traditional
lead-free pewter.
The
thimble is presented in a clear PVC box with card insert. The card is white and is printed in
blue, it shows a Roman Helmet and gives historical information.
