Late Roman Ridge Helmet (Berkasovo)

These helmets were sometimes highly decorated and covered in precious stones such as those found at Berkasovo and Deurne, It is thought that these helmets were mainly worn by cavalry soldiers but finds seem to indicate they were worn interchangeably between cavalry and infantry.
