According to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/44375077\/Gladiator_helmet_overview_ENG\">helmet overview<\/a> we are still missing a few specimens and types. Therefore we ordered new helmets for the Ludus from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabri-armorum.com\/en\/homepage\/\">Fabri Armorum<\/a> in the Czech Republic.

This is based on a find from the famous<a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pompeji\"> Roman city buried by Vesuvius<\/a>. The typical feature is the floppy hat-like brim. The distinctive mark of all gladiators fighting as Thracians is the griffin&#8217;s head, which is especially beautifully crafted on our new helmet. If you want to see the original from Pompeii, you can do so in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.louvre.fr\/en\">Louvre<\/a> in Paris.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gladiatorenschule-berlin.rocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/vQ5xjY.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gladiatorenschule-berlin.rocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/vQ5xjY.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"307\" height=\"355\" \/><\/a>We have decided, because of the targeted durability of 2-5 years, against a rich decoration of the helmet Also in the material we have deviated from the find. Instead of bronze, we had the helmet made of modern steel. This not only increases the durability, but also ensures the highest level of protection.<\/p>\n<p>On the basis of the following picture the new helmet can be classified in the used helmets of the imperial age. Thus, our Ludus now has all imperial-era helmets in use except for the Thraex-Tralles helmet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4337 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gladiatorenschule-berlin.rocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HelmetsThraexEN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1376\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gladiatorenschule-berlin.rocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HelmetsThraexEN.jpg 1376w, https:\/\/www.gladiatorenschule-berlin.rocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HelmetsThraexEN-300x107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gladiatorenschule-berlin.rocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HelmetsThraexEN-1024x367.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gladiatorenschule-berlin.rocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HelmetsThraexEN-768x275.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gladiatorenschule-berlin.rocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HelmetsThraexEN-500x179.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For those who are particularly interested, please refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gladiatorenschule-berlin.rocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\">chapter 8.1. in the Thracian Handbook<\/a>.<br \/>\nThere you will find more pictures and more detailed explanations about the use of the helmets.<\/p>\n<p>Your Berlin Gladiators<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salvete !
