Our history as a race of beings is defined by wars. Human interactions have historically been turbulent, and that turmoil has played out in war after war, defining territories and wealth accordingly. The turning points of history have always taken place on the battlefield, and that is true especially of the history of medieval Greeks and Romans.

Since major aspects of Greek and Roman history are combat and conflict, the full effects of a medieval wardrobe must always include weaponry and armor. A prominent soldier would be protected from head to toe, wielding the most lethal of weapons. Unlike the remote launch sites and armoured vehicles of today’s combat, medieval warriors wouldn’t strike a blow until they could see the whites of the enemies eyes.

The two most crucial pieces of armor during medieval combat were the helmet and breast plate. Without these two essential items, vital organs would be left exposed to potentially lethal strikes, ensuring the soldier’s demise.

Armory Replicas carries the most accurate replicas of the most famous and well-preserved Greek and Roman helmets from this period in history. Our fully functional head armor, like the Imperial Roman D Helmet, make the perfect display or costume pieces, perfect for both cosplayers and history buffs.

Medieval Greek and Roman officers are also known to have worn muscle cuirass style armour, for the combined effects of self-protection and enemy intimidation. For historic collections and costumes, authentic armor is a must.

If you are going to have the battle gear of a decorated medieval warrior, you certainly can’t be storing your gear in the back of your closet. When not in use, the noble aesthetics of Greco-Roman armor deserve to be on display. For proper showcasing and storage, you’ll need nothing less than our featured wooden breastplate and helmet display.
