Is that nigga wearing fucking chainmail tabis?
Fucking Roman weeaboos I swear to god
if the Romans can see how silly those steel Bucket medieval helmet,I bet they cry wondering how stupid people thousand years later are.
The stalhelm seems like a fairly popular modern approximation of the design. They just streamlined the neckguard with the main bowl and removed the cheekguards which aren't exactly going to stop a bullet. Would get in the way of a gas mask too which is of greater concern in this century.
>>364094
Because superior Germanic helmets.
Also Montefortino was originally a Celtic design

So the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montefortino_helmet
Is the exact equivalent of a later modified design?
>>364416
Imperial helmet basically derived from Montefortino design, they just improved it and added more stuff

hurr lets just ignore this because it offends us

>At the same time multiculturalism is encouraged
I don't think you understand antiquity at all.
>Jews rise in power
Jews lost all their power centuries earlier and never regained it in the Roman Empire.
>>364456
So migration didn't happen during Roman times? Oh wait, you just ignore facts to fit your narrative.
>Jews lost power
So explain why they own all the major banks nowadays then?

>So explain why they own all the major banks nowadays then?
Modern banks don't have any ties to Roman era financial institutions.
>>364485
The Roman Empire was only dissolved in 1806, so I find that hard to believe.
>>364456
Jews lost their power in Judea proper, doesn't mean they didn't still exist in the Empire.
>>364492
Most powerful Jews outside of Judea lived in Alexandria, but even their influence ended long before the 5th century.

>>364403
So what was the pike at the top of the helmet even there for. Identification of German troops?

I think the word you're looking for is 'improved,' Anon.
The Late Roman helmets offered better protection, and were simpler and cheaper to manufacture as well.
They fell out of favour more because the various Post-Roman Germanics preferred their own styles of helmet, while the Byzantines didn't seem to be fans of the cheek guards and preferred taller, broader helmets combined with mail, scale, or padded coifs.
>>364594
They just look like generic soldiers
>>364609
Generic stuff can be good looking too. A lot of peasant dress etc. is brilliant.

>The Late Roman helmets offered better protection
Is there any source on that?
>>364549
headbutting
>>364549
Deflecting sabers, apparently

It was more likely just to look fancy. They had plumes, which fell out of favor and the spike became more stylized.
