Roman parade helmet


Check out this beautiful ancient Late Roman parade helmet from Berkasovo, northern Serbia.
This bronze helmet is gold plated and features gems, glass pasta ornaments, and inscriptions at the edges.
It dates back to the 4th century AD and probably belonged to a high-ranked Roman cavalry officer of emperor Licinius, who was defeated in the Battle of Cibalae by emperor Constantine I in 314 or 316 AD.
