Beskrivning
Den här hjälmen är typisk för senromersk tid. Den dyker upp samtidigt som Konstantin, tidigt 300-tal. Den här hjälmen användes under typ 300 år och är föregångaren till Sutton Hoo och Vendelhjälmarna.
Following the typical helmet shape of the late Imperial period, this helmet found in Berkasovo (Serbia) distinguishes itself by it’s rich ornamentation with jewels and silver and gold applications. These ornaments explain the helmets considerable weight of over 3 kg. The elaborate ornamentaion suggests that the wearer must have been a very high-ranking officer.
