Is that made from bronze or brass?
Amazing it is still intact and didn’t erode away! The metal must be similar to stainless steel!
I think Roman soldiers had smaller heads back then but, of course, now actors who play Roman soldiers in movies are big heads 😃
If the soldier who lost that helmet overboard survived and could convince his commander and the Supply NCO that it was a combat related loss, he was getting a Statement of Charges against his pay for a replacement. That part of soldering hasn’t changed in the last 3000 years.
