This Roman enamel helmet-shaped key ring is made of metal with red enamel and gold details. It comes as a high quality keyring. The model depicts the side profile of a Roman centurion's helmet with a chochol. The pendant is presented on a card with a Roman motif.
The helmet of a Roman centurion, known as a "galea", was a characteristic part of the armament of officers in the ancient Roman army, especially centurions who held a prominent rank. It was usually made of bronze or iron and featured a distinctive choker running from front to back, which had both a decorative and practical function. The chocholes helped to identify the centurion on the battlefield and also added an intimidating effect to his appearance. The helmet was also fitted with cheekpieces, a neck guard and a visor that could be raised or lowered.
