This Auxillary Archer Helmet is a high quality reproduction of what Roman "secondary" soldiers and archers wore. This Deepeeka helm is made of steel with brass accents and a brass scale aventail. Roman soldiers made great infantry, but lacked skills as cavalry or archers. As a result they looked to the Auxillia to fill these needs. Recruiting non citizen soldiers from the fringes of the empire, cavalry from Gaul and Germania and archers from Crete or Syria, among others. In many cases the Auxillia were not ''Romanised'' at all and were allowed to fight in thier native styles with their traditional equipment. This Roman Auxiliary Archer Helmet serves as a great example of this. The Near Eastern styling hints to the origin of the Syrian archers in Roman service.

This Roman Auxilia Archer’s Helm is constructed from steel and brass. The aventail is sewn brass scales upon a leather backing. The inside is blackened and fitted with an adjustable leather suspension liner. An integrated and adjustable leather chin strap is fitted to the helmet. It also comes with a leather cord to tie the cheekplates into place.
