Unearthed by a young boy in 1796 behind his home in Ribchester, Lancashire, England, this is one of the finest ancient Roman helmets ever discovered and dates back to around 100 CE.
It was not made for real combat. Instead, elite Roman cavalry officers wore it during hippika gymnasia, spectacular equestrian training tournaments and parades designed to display military skill and status.
Fascinating
