The gap just below the nasal plate is 3 cm and eye slits measure about (6×3.2)cm. A sturdy chin strap closed with a brass buckle will help keep your helmet in place during all your battle.

Note: This product is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth.

It was the favourite helmet of most Greek Hoplites heavily armoured spearmen during the Archaic and early Classical period, and even the famous Athenian leader, Pericles, was portrayed wearing it. Later on, it gave way to lighter forms of helmets that impeded less the hoplite’s vision and hearing but kept being used in a slightly modified fashion by the Italians as the “Italo-Corinthian” helmet up to the rise of the Roman Empire.
