Description – 
The VI Century Illyrian Helmet is a simple and impressive piece of hoplite reenactment gear. Originally constructed in the Greek workshops, but was later used across the Mediterranean. The helmet artefact was found in the Adriatic region and therefore, it was named after Illyria. The construction of the helmet has fixed and rigid cheek guards and a projected neck protector. The central ridges are hand-embossed to fit a crest (if needed). Some historians and scholars also claim that this design is an inspiration from Sarajevo’s style of helmets.
