An original Imperial Italic H (Niedermörmter type) helmet, perhaps the finest Roman helmet in existence, dating to the late 2nd century CE. The construction is iron with elaborate brass and copper appliques.

Christie's estimate on this magnificent helmet was £500,000. Photograph taken by David Scott Michaels.
