 well unless thats a barn find, ha, ha, i doubt thats anywhere near 2000 years old, sorry to be sceptical but wouldnt you think the hinges would of rusted through by now?the door on my car is 5 years old and one of those is iffy. looks as though its a dicarded prop from a old film, still cool though.

Metal hinges? arent they usually leather pieces rivetted to the shell and ear flaps?What we have here looks like shed door hinges

Hi guys , just posting for some people that like Roman stuff , since the SS has a lot of similarities with them . This helmet was dug up by a friend of mine. But I am not getting into a yes or no about the helmet . It could be fake , yes . But then it was burried there by a Czech farmer .( no , it was not found in Czechia , just compiling the replys) It was found somewhere in Europe , near my country. I hope that you all liked it.

Roman helmets used this type hinge attachment.
Would be interested on more details on where it was found.

Thanks Joe Semen

Incredible condition for its age... found in clay I assume. I have to admit that the size is somewhat surprising when one considers how much smaller we used to be 1900 years ago. Is that an Imperial Gallic?
Congratulations!
