Apulo-Corinthian Helmet

The Apulo-Corinthian helmet was a type of ancient Roman helmet that emerged during the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. It was a variation of the Corinthian helmet, which originally had Greek origins. The Apulo-Corinthian helmet featured a distinctive design with a high, conical crest, cheek guards, and a nose guard. What set it apart was the inclusion of decorative elements and a more ornate appearance compared to its predecessor. The helmet was often made of bronze and adorned with intricate details, such as relief patterns and animal motifs. While the Apulo-Corinthian helmet was not as common as some other Roman helmet types, it reflected the influence of Greek styles on Roman military equipment during the early centuries of the Roman Republic.
