    It looks awkward. I prefer Greek helms.

    Here it's called "Le casque « gaulois »". In Italy it's called the Villanovan helmet. Later was adopted by all the Italics tribes, the Etruscans and also by the early Roman army during Romulus times.

    A Corinthian helmet. Used obviously by Greeks, and later adopted by Etruscans that introduce it at Rome.
    It was a very expensive helmet for a soldier.
