Coolus 'G' New (DRUSENHEIM) Roman Helmet

The Coolus 'G' New (DRUSENHEIM) made by Deepeeka is an accurate replica ornate based off historical research and authentic in its design. The second known group of helmets, was the ?Coolus? variety, which covered the period 3rd century BC to at least 79AD. These were based on a Gallic form of helmet made in the Coolus district of Marne. In form they were a simple hemispherical bowl made out of bronze with a reinforcing peak running horizontally across the brow and with a larger extension at the back as a neck guard. Most have a simple spike as a plug-in plume or crest holder. The Coolus helmet was a type of ancient Roman helmet. It was produced from brass and, like the Montefortino type with which it co-existed, was a descendent of Celtic helmet types. It was fairly plain, except for some ridges or raised panels on the cheekpieces. It was globular or hemispherical in shape (some were spun on a lathe rather than hammered to shape) with a turned or cast soldered- or riveted-on crest knob. The Coolus was replaced by the Imperial helmet type, a more developed form also derived from a Celtic original. Our version is made of brass and is fully wearable. This incredible helmet is great for your next Ren Fair, role-playing performance or to simply add to your collection! One size fits most. Helmet has 22 to 23 Inch Circumference.
