Athenian hoplite helmet
This helmet is patterned after the Phrygian style helmet worn mainly during the Hellenistic Period of Greek history.It was worn not only by Athenians during this period, but by many different city states of the Hellenistic world.
Originally intended to mimic the style of cap worn by the Phrygians of Asia Minor, this helmet was commonly worn by infantry soldiers in the Macedonian phalanx under Alexander and his successors.
The originals would have been entirely fashioned of bronze. This replica is made of brass with antique finishing.
