Unlike the legionaries who were stationed primarily
on the frontier, marching throughout Europe, the Guards were
based in Rome and stood as the main body of troops in the defense
of the Roman Empire. These elite soldiers were the Emperor's
personal instruments for discouraging plots and rebellions and
were quite effective in crushing unrest. This Gallic influenced
full size wearable helm worn by the elite Roman guardsmen of
the early first century is hand-crafted of 18 gauge steel and
boasts classic brass accenting.
