Description
The murmillo helmet, also known as the “fish-headed” helmet, was a type of helmet worn by ancient Roman gladiators known as murmillos. These gladiators were typically equipped to resemble Roman soldiers, and their helmet design reflected this. Here is a brief history of the murmillo helmet:
Gladiatorial combat was a popular form of entertainment in ancient Rome, beginning in the Roman Republic and continuing into the Roman Empire. Gladiators were often slaves, prisoners of war, or volunteers who fought in arenas to entertain the Roman populace.
There were various types of gladiators in ancient Rome, each with their own unique weapons and armor. The murmillo was one such type, known for its distinctive helmet and weaponry.
The murmillo helmet was designed to resemble the traditional Roman infantry helmet, the “galea.” It had a distinctive rounded shape with a crest running from front to back, and it often featured a visor that covered the face. The helmet was made of metal, typically bronze or iron, to provide protection to the gladiator.

I could not be any more pleased with this helm if I tried, it is perfect for the Murmillo kit I fight in.
I am impressed with the sturdy construction having stood up to SCA and steel weapons combat and I have no issues with vision or breathing.
A superb piece of artistry that I am certain will serve me well for many years to come.

Superb helm. Just took it off after fighting SCA. Very sturdy. The mass is good, as it absorbs blows very well. Breathing is great
Welds, rivets and finish are all to a very high standard. I’ll definatly come here first for my next helm.
