✎ Reference Information.
✎ “He conquers twice, who shows mercy to the conquered.” (c) Julius Caesar.
🔎 A centurion was a professional officer of the Roman army after the Marian reforms of 107 BC. Centurions commanded a century of around 80 legionaries.
🔎 Originally, Roman helmets were influenced by the neighboring Etruscans, people who utilised the “Nasua” type helmets. The Greeks in the south also influenced Roman design in its early history.
🔎 Some of the helmets used by legionaries had a crest holder. The crests were usually made of plumes or horse hair. While the fur is usually red, the crests possibly occurred in other colors, like yellow, purple and black, and possibly in combinations of these colors such as alternating yellow and black. There is some evidence (Vegetius writings and some sculptures) that legionaries had their crests mounted longitudinally and centurions had them mounted transversely.
🔎 H. Russell Robinson in his book The Armour of Imperial Rome, published in 1975, classified into broad divisions the various forms of helmets that were found. He classified four main types of helmets for heavy infantry (with subcategories named with letters) and 30 different types of cheek guards. Helmets used by gladiators were quite different from military versions.
