Iron Helmet
Weapon
 
  While iron was used in many Roman helmets, espicially during the empire, iron helmets with nose pieces didn't begin to appear until the late empire at about 350 A.D.  This particular helmet is made in halves (unlike more traditional Roman helmets) joined by the central ridge.  The neck guard is also a completly seperate piece, again, unlike more traditional Roman helmets, where the neck piece and helmet are one solid piece.
  Iron helmets, like that pictured above are in use by Iridines cavalry.  Those sold at Ksaia's shop offer good protection for both the head, and neck, with some minor protection given to the face via the nose guard.  This style of helmet is not generally worn by the infantry who prefer a more open faced helmet, such as the standard issue bronze helmet.  One should note, however, that there are many other iron helmets available throughout midlight, however this is the only style that is easily available through a local merchant.

Iron helmets are available at:
