Discussed listed here are some of the most popular helmet types which have been most widely available today in online retailers.What do you think of when someone says "Greek Helmet"?

The first thing that pops into your brain is a picture of an Spartan soldier, complete with a red cape, round, bronze shield, long spear, along with a bronze or brass helmet with the ever-so popular plume. Fortunately, stores have recognized this fact and this type of helmet is widely carried on the internet and in brick-and-mortar stores. Commonly names since the Italic Corinthian helmet or maybe plainly a Spartan helmet, this replica will be a great addition in your collection.

What you'll probably see are three forms of helmets: a brass helmet with tan or red plume, a black helmet which has a tan plume, or a silver (plain metal) helmet having a tan plume. Each one of these will work okay as a Spartan or Greek helmet. However, you could be surprised to hear that none of these was historically your helmet common Spartan soldiers wore. Most Spartans wore helmets which are quite plain coupled with no plume. We were holding characterized by two long cheek guards and a slit in between them for breathing. Though these folks were historically crafted from bronze or brass, today's replicas is going to be made out of steel or brass.Other popular Greek helmets are Hoplite helmets.
