Brigetio Gallic 'J' Helmet
The helmet dates from the second half of the first Century. Yes it is. Mid to late first Century. A type not previously commercially available, but a beauty nonetheless! I'm certain that DSC will do their usual stunning and accurate reconstruction of it too. The original is from Hungary but currently on display in the UK. It's probably going to be prettier than the Carnuntum helmet . Note the brass front edge to the browguard! - Aka Adrian WinkREACTIONS :
very clever marketing, keeping the nicest designs till last.... I like it a lot. The cheekguards look fantastic and are nice and long... But I think I want one of these. - Jef Pinceel
Awesome! Well done! - Jurjen Draaisma
Very nice work! Long live the cooperation between Peroni and DSC! - Sander Van Daele
Interesting eyebrows, the whole helmet flows. The angle of the guard looks ideal for stopping downward blows. And I like the fact the neck guard seam seems to be totaly invisible. Unlike the Gallic 'H' I received. This is definitely a winner. - Gaius Julius Caesar/Byron Angel
Well done Adrian
! The bowl seems to be perfect in proportions, not too wide and deep enough! I definitely want one if it stays like this! - Virilis/ Jyrki Halme

I have to say, this looks very impressive and, to my best understanding,
is quite a reasonable impression of a roman campaign tent. Andy

Battle of Thermopylae
As a lecturer to schools and academies with respect to the 300 Spartans, John Trikeriotis, is also one of the members of the scholarly group, The Leonidas Expeditions. Comprised of academics, archaeologists and authors, its objectives are to locate several areas pivotal to one of ancient history's iconic last stands, the Battle of Thermopylae.
Mr. Trikeriotis has conducted several interviews for radio and print about Warner Bros. '300', where he discussed the significance of the battle along with the factual and fictional elements of the movie. As the webmaster of 300SpartanWarriors.com, his site is used as a resource by libraries, schools and other websites, as it has extensive sections about the battle and its combatants. In addition, as the founder of the living history group 'Warriors of Thermopylae', he has appeared at educational facilities within the United States as the representative of its members, who have collectively spent countless hours researching the armour, weaponry and tactics of the feared battle formation known as the Spartan phalanx.

It is our desire at Daniyal Steel Crafts to create shields and armour for those who require authenticity relative to the 300 Spartans and the Battle of Thermopylae, therefore, we are honoured to have John guide us as historical consultant in this pursuit.
