Galea is the Latin word for helmet: initially the term indicated only the leather helmet, thereafter also the metal one. The helmet is probably one of the most distinguishable elements of any period or any army. Throughout the Roman period there have been many styles ranging from the Greek Corinthian and Attic styles to the late Roman Itercisa. Each one of these styles were designed for a unique purpose and each one made with very different materials and elements. Now, Fondale has its own helmet.
