Description
This Athenian Hoplite helmet hand-made by Deepeeka 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. This version is made of iron in a bronzed finish, at a 18 gauge thinkness. The originals would have been entirely fashioned of bronze.
This helmet is crafted from period-appropriate bronze and has hinged cheekplates. Integrated rings allow for the cheekplates to be fastened and secured around the chin. The interior is blackened and unlined – included is a padded cotton arming cap which can be inserted into the helmet to provide cushioning.
