Crosby Garrett Helmet, Roman cavalry helmet in Crosby Garrett, England
The copper alloy helmet features a sculpted face of a young soldier and includes a griffin-decorated Phrygian cap at its crown point.
A metal detector enthusiast discovered the Roman cavalry helmet, dating from the late 2nd or 3rd century AD, in Crosby Garrett during May 2010.
The helmet's design combines Roman military craftsmanship with decorative elements possibly representing Paris of Troy, indicating its ceremonial purpose.
The artifact underwent extensive restoration after being found in sixty-seven pieces, with most of the original visor remaining intact.
This helmet represents one of only three complete Roman cavalry helmets with visors ever discovered in Britain's archaeological record.
