Praetorian Guard Roman Helmet, Brass with Red Plume

The Praetorian Guard (Praetoriani) was a force of bodyguards by Roman Emperors. The title was already used during the Roman Republic for the guards of Roman generals.

Unfortunately, there are no original helmet findings. This version is modeled on one of many traditional drawings of Roman stone reliefs.
