It was worn by both infantry and cavalry. This type of helmet offered better protection to the sides of the face compared to the older galea helmets. Helmets like this were worn from the 3rd century AD onwards. The helmet is made of brass and features a large neck and brow plate. The cheek plates can be fastened together. It weighs approximately 3 kg
