Imperial Italic 'G' (Theilenhofen)

http://daniyalhelmets.blogspot.com/


Exclusive to Armamentaria, this second Century helmet is copied from an original found at Theilenhofen (Germany) on the site of the castrum of Cohors III Bracaraugustanorum, which was a mixed cohort of Infantry and Cavalry guarding the Raetian limes. The deposition date of the helmet is 189AD although the helmet could have seen a great deal of service prior to the deposition date. The original is now on display at Munich.



It's in Graham's book Wars Of The Empire, illustrated on a legionary wearing a Newstead seg. http://www.amazon.com/Roman-Army-Brasseys-History-Uniforms/dp/1857532120
