bronze helmet

Warrior's metal cap

A bronze helmet is a protective head covering made from bronze, the copper-tin alloy that dominated warfare before iron.

The term evokes ancient and classical military equipment—Greek hoplites, Roman legionaries, Celtic warriors.

Bronze helmets appear in museum collections, historical fiction, and fantasy games where they often represent early-tier armor: He started with a bronze helmet and worked up to steel.
