Typically made from iron by the people of that age, these helmets share a close resemblance with the helmets of the Late Roman Age, portraying them as a form of transition helmets between the Late Roman Period and the Viking period. Our reproduction is ideal for early medieval or Viking warrior ensembles in your next evocation, fair or Viking LARP.
