Description –
The Pilos Helmet for Reenactment is a simple helmet and one of the most commonly used helmets in ancient Greece. The helmet was inspired by the felt/wool cap, also known as the Pileus. The embossed groove above the rim of the helmet is an inspiration from the drawstring of the pileus cap. The original finding of the helmet was in bronze metal. The simple construction of the helmet made it easily accessible and cheap, compared to the other types of helmets. The helmet was particularly famous among the foot soldiers of Greek armies. The historians think that the helmet was not safe for battle as it did not provide any protection to the face.
