Gaul Chieftan Helm

Price $225.00Add to cart

Gaul (Latin: Gallia) was the name given, in ancient times, to the region of Western Europe comprising present-day northern Italy, France, Belgium, western Switzerland and the parts of the Netherlands and Germany on the west bank of the Rhine river.

In English, the word Gaul (French: Gaulois) may also refer to a Celtic inhabitant of that region, although the expression may be used more generally for all ancient speakers of the Gaulish language (a derivative of early Celtic) who were widespread in Europe and extended even into central Anatolia by Roman times. In this way, "Gaul" and "Celt" are sometimes used interchangeably.

 

 

The helms that early Gauls wore have often been misnamed as Viking pieces. No actual proof has ever been found to show that the Viking's used helms with horns, but plenty has been found to show that the Gauls did. The piece that we are offering here is made of 18-gauge mild steel and the horns are real buffalo horn. It comes with an adjustable liner.
