๐Ÿ”ฅ How did a piece of raw metal become a Roman military helmet?

Surviving Roman helmets reveal a wide variety of forms and construction traditions. The Montefortino type, for example, was adopted by the Romans and is known for its robust bronze construction, while later Imperial helmets developed different protective features.

In this Empire Echo episode, we use high-quality 3D CGI to recreate an evidence-informed Roman armorer's workshopโ€”from heating and shaping metal to assembling the helmet and finally placing it on a Roman soldier.
