    Description

    I just reduced this helmet 15% from 9 to 5.65 for the
    approaching
    Holiday time period.  I am the only person in the entire world that makes this helmet.
    Dr. Ernst Künzl, masked helmet expert and curator of the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum in Mainz Germany had this to say about my Vize Roman masked helmet after he examined it.  ... ''The Vize masked helmet is one of the most impressive works of Roman craftsmanship in the Early Empire, and your re-creation fits to the rank of the original''…
    Life size and completely wearable.  This completed version of my 'Vize' Roman cavalry masked helmet is done in silvered tinned bronze and then gold finger gilding is applied to the raised high relief areas.   This helmet can also have brass side plum holders installed on both sides along with two ostrich plums inserted for 9 extra.  I can also install a crest box with horse hair crest for 9 extra.  It can also be aged or toned for 0.
    Below is the description of the scene unraveling around the helmet and it's interpretation based on known Roman myths.
    This Roman masked helmet from Vize Thrace depicting the sea monster Scylla destroying ships while drowning soldiers and sea creatures can be seen in the water.  Scylla is seen here as on a denarius of Sextus Pompey wielding a ships rudder being part female to the waist turning into two fish tails with the front part of dogs coming out of her.  Each of the helmets cheek pieces display Victory carrying a trophy of arms over her shoulder.  The silvered hair is crowned by the corona aurea or gold crown.  This gold crown should not be taken lightly for just a design as it was most likely awarded to the soldier.  It was given by the Romans as an extraordinary recompense of bravery or for saving the life of a fellow Roman.  Only those who were awarded this crown could wear them in public places.  Wearing unearned metals or awards is still a criminal offence today.  Rosettas and scroll work can be seen on the neck guard along with rope work throughout the piece.
    For Roman standard bearers ( Signifers / Aquilifers ), both wolf skins and bear skins are in stock and available.
    I can also antique this helmet to look like the original artifact in the Xantan Roman Museum in Germany for a 0 fee.  I can also antique any armor or weapon.
