Roman helmets with face masks found in south western Germany. They were worn by cavalry soldiers during parades and tournaments. 🏺

Obviously aliens abducted some Romans and dropped them in Germany as a prank Trust me. I work for the History Channel

In my day, the lads didn't have time for fancy helmet-shopping.

Wow! the fact that so much detail survives always impresses me.

I suspect this is the inspiration for a stormtrooper with such a mask in the new Star Wars Ashoka series. Their armor has been deteriorating as they've been stranded for years, so they're using other metals to repair the missing parts. I'm suspecting that's the inspiration

The detail on those is incredible.
