The success of Imperial Rome's great armies was much in part due to the great leadership of its commanders in charge and the effectiveness of precise following of orders in battle. In order to immediately recognize those in charge, officers and commanders of Rome's great legions of troops wore helmets adorned with large colorful plumes that could be seen in battle with color and ornamentation determining rank. This wonderful and historical full size helm handcrafted of 18 gauge steel is as glorious as the originals with striking blond and black hair plume easily distinguishing the "Commander" in Battle. The Imperial Roman Commanders Helm is fully functional and wearable.
