Murmillo helmet

murmillo gladiator helmet

You recognize the high crest, visor, and wide brim of this bronze helmet as belonging to a Murmillo gladiator. A similar helmet bears the head of Hercules, and you imagine it crowned with dramatic plume of feathers as the gladiator parades into the arena. The visor protects his face and eyes, but you would not like to look at the world though such a grill.
