    Hmm what about the Centurion one that’s like a Mohawk but sideways? I always thought that one looked a little funky.

      The distinctive rotated crest could go on many of these helmets, most of those in the early Imperial period would have had a crest holder at the top for easy installation and removal.

    “Qaisar-e-Rum” just means “Caesar of Rome” but ironically pronounced correctly in engrish

      Yep! The neck protection, cheekguards, and exposed ears (for hearing orders) are the most distinctive features of the Gallic and Italic style helmets used in the early Empire.
