Royal Corinthian Helmet
Based on archeological evidence, the Corinthian helmet is generally acknowledged as the first Greek helmet designed. Corinthian helmets were as similar as Spartan helmets in term of face design. They only differ on the frontal cheek guards as Corinthian helmet’s cheek was bit longer than the Spartan helmets. Also, these Greek helmets were usually made up of brass or a black metal. These also had a plume often made of horse hair. Today's replicas will be made with a synthetic hair or more expensive ones will come with real horse hair. This Royal Corinthian Helmet is an eye-catching reproduction of the ancient Corinthians.
