One of the most gorgeous helmets ever produced is the Greek Corinthian helmet. Although the Greeks used many other styles and types, this is the one most closely associated with the Greek Hoplite and Alexander of Macedon. Made of bronze, this helmet was designed to provide protection and visibility and to also allow the wearer plenty of air. This clean, spare shape was the basis for many of the classical helmets of the Renaissance. We are pleased to offer this fully wearable copy that imitates the thin wall construction of the originals. Since bronze is heavier than steel, bronze helmets were made thinner than steel helmets to avoid excess weight. The main purpose was to deflect blows, rather than absorb them. A truly spectacular helmet, and one no collection of armor should be without.
