Nijmegen Helmet
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']'). The Nijmegen Helmet is an Ancient Roman helmet, found in a gravel bed on the left bank of Waal river, near the Dutch city of Nijmegen in 1915. The helmet would have been worn by the elite Roman cavalry.[1] The head portion of the helmet is made of iron, while the mask and diadem are of bronze or brass. The helmet has a neck-protecting projecting rim, overlaid with a thin bronze covering plated with silver.[2] The diadem features two male and three female figures.
The helmet sustained oxidisation.[2] Several other Roman sports helmets have also been found in or near Nijmegen.[3]
