The protective helmets worn by Roman foot soldiers during the Republic were adopted directly from the Etruscans, who in turn had adapted helmets from neighbouring European cultures both within and outside the Italian peninsula. In this study, an expert explains how their shape remained largely unchanged until the late Republic, when contact and conflict with a greater variety of cultures brought new influences. The dynamic forces at work during the civil wars and the transition from the Republic to the Principate at the end of the 1st century BC led to the introduction of a whole range of types, which then evolved until new influences brought about further changes. M. C. Bishop shows how this culminated in contact with Eastern cultures, leading to the introduction of entirely new types that simplified production and resulted in a wide variety of post-Roman helmet types.
