PRAETORIAN GUARD HELMET
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 helmet is made of brass and it is richly ornamented.
It has got two cheek guards from brass, a red plume made of horsehair and an adjustable
liner from leather.
