  It’s supposed to be a helmet with wings, not a Roman one.

    Helmets with wings never existed beside some statues here and there, it’s a myth that celts had that. 19th c. archaeologists found helmets with the cheek protections flattened and turned up, and thought they were wings. They had the same Roman styled helmets. Except Arminius here who clearly couldn’t follow instructions.

      Helmets with wings and other crests are known to have been worn by Celtic peoples.

        Decoratively and ceremonially, not in combat.

      Yes, never said they were real, just said what the artist intended to portray.
