A bit of nuance on the matter of the attic helmets; although we do believe the relief on Claudius' arch is way over the top and not a realistic representation of a unit of praetorians whatsoever, and that the stereotypical hollywood attic helmets would be very unlikely to have been a common sight, there is of course always the possibility for exceptions. Rich soldiers - like officers - could well have had an attic-resembling helmet custom made for example. But with a clear lack in archaeological finds and realistic sculptures, the attic helmet is simply seen as more of an oddity than a common helmet type for sure.
I've studied ancient Rome since high school. I'm now several years out of college. Your content is still by FAR the most interesting I have ever come across. You have re-kindled my love for history and I thank you for that. Don't ever stop. I believe your channel will rise to incredible heights and I'm excited to be in at the beginning so I can see it happen.
We're so used to seeing just one type of helmet. Videos like this are great because they show the evolution over time, especially the late imperial period. It's striking how much the later helmets look like something out of the Middle Ages, but then again that makes sense.
Agreed! 👍 In many media, and certainly in popular imagination, "Roman" tends to be this single monolithic idea...? Which matches the image of power the emperors liked to try & project, for sure! But just isn't realistic to an empire which covered such a wide geographic area & timescale, and incorporated so many different people groups at various times. Really liked the presentation here, showing not just the change over time but also how one style evolved from another. And as you note, it's also interesting to think about how medieval military protection iterated on this later, as weapons & combat styles continued to evolve in the various cultures Rome had impacted!
Well, the "later period" was basically the Early Middle Ages -there are no sharp cutoffs in history. Medieval Europeans inherited most of their combat ideas from the Romans, from the armor to the tactics. Medieval knights were basically descendants of the Roman equestrians (the equites, who are sometimes called "knights", although this is not quite accurate).
Excellent video, as always. Beautiful recreations, nicely filmed & presented with thoughtful context. Here's hoping it gets the promotion it deserves & reaches everyone who may be interested in such things!
I love this channel. It's one thing to watch documentaries describing the lives of roman citizens/soldiers, but it's another for the documentary to bring the scenes to life like you guys do!
I have to say I especially love the camerawork of this particular video. It offers great attention to otherwise often overlooked details. Mars and Minerva would be proud!
Always such high quality content. That you spare no expense covering the details of the details is just part of what makes your channel so engaging. I look forward to the next.
very nice a well made video, I love the fact your reenactment group has examples of all these types. The guy in the foreground at 14:47 immediately made me think of the adventures of Alex comics I used to read as a kid, especially the helmet gave me a blast of nostalgia.
That was great! Especially the dark haired guy (at the end with all the helmets) so somber, so serious. I mean I used to think Big Blond Guy was funereal but Dark Bearded Guy takes the cake. Keep it coming ya big bloody Batavians!
@@ImperiumRomanumYT Maybe the big blond guy do do a post like Relaxing in the Roman Baths? Soaking naked in the steam room, then having those long white legs massaged with warm oil by a cute slave. You know... Educational! Historically accurate!
I was watching the video to help me with a college costume project and suddenly I heard "Oi gente!" I was surprised! I know it's a publicity, but as a Portuguese speaker I was happy... I hope you continue studying Portuguese! Your videos are great, much success to everyone who is part of this ♡♡♡
Haha that's great to hear, I wish i could see the surprise! Also I would have loved to continue speaking some more, but the clip had to be short and to the point of course, but actually i do speak quite a bit of Portuguese :). Thanks for your kind wishes!
An excellent overview of Roman helmet typology. It would be intersting to also do a more metallurgical approach to all the styles compared to the enemies weaponry. Also, the change in manufacturance between the early helmets and the later one is quite an interesting topic to show.
As always, a wonderful video to watch! You guys do know how to make excellent work on both the script and the visuals! Please keep it up the outstanding job!
You are doing an excellent job with Roman history and equipment. In fact, one of the best channels on RUclips regarding Roman history. The Romans were, in deed, exceptional craftsman.
I was watching your video on food in the last few minutes, thinking I hope you have something else soon. What a surprise! Excellent channel. Don't give up! Love from Scotland.
This is my new favorite channel dealing with this subject, and there are so many good ones out there. Diligent, detailed, and seeing real people wearing this stuff is just awesome. I hope they do a video dealing with Roman artillery someday, it's a fascinating subject and functional replicas can be made with basic materials
Thanks Jake! Good to have your input on what you'd like to see, artillery is definitely on our mind. Making it ourselves is a bit far-fetched for our skills, but a scorpio/catapulta is actually reasonably affordable, so who knows some day ...
@@ImperiumRomanumYT Cool! I had no idea one could actually buy them. Yes, I did some more research and it seems that while the basic principles of torsion devices are simple enough, getting the spring right is very difficult and no one has quite been able to do it. Either poor results or it tears itself apart after a shot or two. But keep up the work, you guys are making awesome videos and the attention to detail is impressive! Hopefully we'll get to see this some day
Schöne Grüße aus Mainz Weisenau 🙂. Es ist schon interessant, die Helmtypen in Verbindung mit seinem Heimatort. Sie wurden dort meist aus dem Rhein gefischt.
Absolutely amazing content! Keep on being the best Roman reenactment/documentary channel on RUclips! If I had any money to spare, I'd donate without a second thought.
I love ancient military history. Your content is a delight: straightforward and empirical. May your channel find great success. Thanks Imperium Romanum! Roma victrix!
We'd like to think that is one of the ways we distinguish ourselves, academic level research and a (more) nuanced discussion of the topic. Great to hear you've noted, thanks Timothy!
Ah! Another great video:) this is by far the clearest and most interesting and useful video on the many helmets. There are a lot!! I greatly like the hanging hooks..After a 30mile speed march a helmet becomes rather weighty and warm so being able to hang it for ease of carrying (when orders allow) is superb! Incredible guys! Great job 🫡
Excellent work! Reading about or even just seeing examples of helmets is of course great, but using living historians to show the different types and functions is such a valuable learning tool. Keep up the great work!
Little Note: The Niederbieber Type was possible used until c. 320 AD by Cavalry Units. The Term "Comb Helmet" is new to me, I know them as "Ridged Helmet". Miss the destinction of them in the Intercisa, Berkasovo and Burgh Castle Sub Types. Otherwise a very good video. Also nice to note the Romano-Attic Helmet, historicans are debating if this sub type of the Attic Helmet ever existed.
Thanks Steffen, and yeah the term ridge helmet got lost in translation, so where we say 'comb helmet' we would have been better off to say 'ridge helmet' - but the information itself stands. And about the attic helmet, interesting fact we skipped (video was long enough) is that a couple have been found that sort of resemble them, but they all seem rather front-heavy and impractical, and still hardly look anything as nice as the ones we see on reliefs. Surely there we people who had those helmets custom made, but its doubtful whether they were meant as a practical item.
This was so interesting ! Ihope there are more videos like this planned, I'd be very mich interested in what you'd have to say about Architecture for example. Great work, as usual
To me, a general history/military history/art history nerd, the most perfect part of this is in the post-fall stone carving/hollywood helmet bit: “the artist having a blast”- you summed it up perfectly! Plus a military like Rome’s wouldn’t spend extra money paying for more metals and crafting expenses if there’s no recognized, commonly known utilitarian use for the decoration itself! I mean, I’m sure the soldiers found tons of uses for things on the helmet, making it a multi-tool of sorts in the field, “hacking” various things- but that’s not the kind of thing I mean.
that's exactly how we view this as well, although ... i have to admit, the possibility of praetorians or officers spending their own salary on some extravagant helmets is always a very real possibility (and we should have given it more mention in the video)
This video answered my curiosity about Roman helmets. I was so taken by the artistic depiction of the Praetorian guards and old movies that to my surprise real and actual helmets were simple and very utilitarian in design. Gtrat job here!
Thanks for covering the late empire period. So few cover this interesting period. Hope you make more videos on the period; both the empire and the barbarians.
Thank you for this incredible video, I actually enjoyed it a lot. Although I have to say, for the last part of the videos, those helmets I believe were used only by high ranking officers, from Praefectus to Legatus Legionis, and that is why they are so we'll decorated, it isn't really for a battle, it is more for ranking high officers.
It's tempting to believe such helmets were for high-ranking officers, but really there's no evidence for something like that. In general of course, it's likely the richer men had more eleborately decorated and expensive helmets, but we can't say much about these kinds of helmets at all. A couple have been found that KIND of resemble them, but they seem heavy and unpractical, and who knows who owned them and what they were used for. There's many theories possible for sure, but the simple answer is that at this point in time there's little we can say about it with certainty. Perhaps we will get to know more about them in the future, we sure hope so!
Thanks for a *very interesting* video, I've been looking for a detailed summary on Roman helmets for years. I took the freedom to *add the link* in the comments of a few videos on the topic of *Metatron.*
I just visited the museum at Wallsend in Newcastle, Enland. That foritification is quite impressive, especially considering that there were many more like Wallsend all along Hadrian's Wall.
Thank you for this incredible video, I enjoyed it a lot! For a next video idea, it would be cool that you go over all the legions and paramilitaries of the Roman empire, they armor, armor (or crest colours) because there is many articles wrong about them and they are pretty cool, thank you very much!!
Thanks man! Indeed an overview will surely come somewhere in the future, but - as you can tell by now - we really like to dive deep into the matter, and giving an overview of so many different items would be at the expense of the depth of the research and information we could share. Such an overview would be bound to be super superficial, so instead we'll do the individual items first, and later on zoom out and do some overviews :)
9:34 the metal grooves in the steel strengthens the material against deformation without using thicker material (and thus increasing the weight of the helmet) Look at the 16th century Gothic knight armour, they also use these metal grooves in the steel to strengthen the material against deformation And seeing how the Scutum protects the body of the soldier, Leaving the helmet open for attacks from above, combined with the thick metal ridge above the eyes to defects downwards strikes away from the face, it makes sense
Neuwied-Niederbieber is just a few kilometers from here. It was a big castel close to the Limes back in Roman times and some very special founds were made there, like the Draco Standard.
Well done, I‘ve been an armchair historian for quite some time, but the latest evolutions of the roman helmets were new to me. So thanks for closing this shameful lapse in knowledge 🤓

Hmmm .Dit accent heb ik eerder gehoord 😉
Why no eastern roman helmets? For awhile the eastern romans used roman style helmets before they evolved into the medieval helms
so what helmets would tribunes,legates,prefects and generals use?
Well, in the Trajan's column you can also see some leginaries wearing an attican style helmet, exactly like in Hollywood movies.

@@ImperiumRomanumYT Quick question, what do you all use to fasten the chinstraps so quickly without what looks like much tying? Thanks.
The only helmet we need in the modern era is the Trojan helmet.
