Buggenum and Mannheim Helmets
Buggenum Type Helmets (Late Montefortino):
A Buggenum Type Helmet, late first century
BC, Nijmegen, NL,
whereas Montefortino helmets have solid crest knobs, Buggenum type
helmets
have hollow ones. Bugenum helmets are usually without much decoration,
simple and practical, and show a wider neck guard than the earlier
Montefortino
type helmets it is clearly dervied from. This type is though to cover
the
period of Caesar (parallel to the Mannheim
type helmets)
