CHALCIS BARBUTE

This delightfully ugly helmet is closely modelled after one discovered at Chalcis. The riveted construction of the original, duplicated here, is somewhat unusual for barbute-type helmets. The 2 horizontal cross-bars on the face opening were added to aid stability during heavy weapons combat. It is otherwise very similar to the original.

Note that the lining rivets had not yet been installed in the last pic.
