Roman Cavalry Helmets

Roman Cavalry Helmets is an illustrated Osprey Elite study by M.C. Bishop on the origins, development, manufacture, decoration and use of the Roman cavalry helmet.

M.C.

Giuseppe Rava provides the artwork. The 64-page paperback is volume ELI 268 in Osprey's Elite series. Available now at Boarding School Games - add it to your Elite shelf.
