Ancient Greek hoplite helmet from the famous city of Sparta, dated 480 B.C.
Sparta or Lacedaemon was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece in south-eastern Peloponnese. Around 650 BC, it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece. (more on Spartan Art of War…)

(find out more about Leonidas…)
Characteristic for a helmet of Spartan origin is the austere short crest.
Handmade in Greece of solid bronze, an exact museum reproduction.
