Roman Ribchester Sport and Ceremony Cavalry Helmet
The Ribchester Cavalry Sports Helmet was a Roman Sports helmet originally found in Ribchester England. The masked style Roman helmet dates from the 1st C. AD. Cavalry sports equipment and helmets were used by teams of Roman Cavalry (Hippica Gymnasia). The games were played as one team would charge the other and throw light dummy javelins. Points were scored for hits on the other team.

This Roman Cavalry Sports and Ceremony Helm is a two part helm; the main body of the helm is 18 gauge brass and it is heavily embossed with martial scenes. The mask is crafted from thick aluminum with a finish that replicates the appearance of silver - it also has painted brass accents and a cast brass centerpiece on the forehead with the visage of a god.

The mask is fitted to the brass helmet with a leather band fitted across the back of the helm and secured with integrated pins. The interior of the helmet is blackened and unlined - a padded cotton arming cap is included with the helmet.

Measurements:
Front to Back: 7 inches
Side to Side: 7 inches
Interior Circumference: 25 inches
Weight: 6 lb 8.6 oz

Please Note: Helmet Stand is not included.
Late Roman Infantry Helmet Intercisa AH-6714-N
Our Late Roman Infantry Helmet Intercisa is made from steel with leather interior. This unique helmet is an example of the Roman Army "recycling" older equipment to be more uniform and compatible with the latest styles. Originally, this was a 3rd C. Roman Cavalry helmet, which was probably cut down in the 4th C. to be more uniform with the "ridge helmets" like the Intercissa model. The original example of this helmet is now in the Archeological museum of Florence, Italy.

A spur is a metal instrument composed of a shank, neck, and prick, rowel (sharp-toothed wheel), or blunted end fastened to the heel of a horseback rider's boot for the purpose of asking the horse to move forward. It is usually used to refine the riding aids (commands) and to back up the natural aids (the leg, seat and voice aids). The spur is used in every equestrian discipline. There are rules in most equestrian organizations about spur use and cruelty issues.

The very old word derives from Anglo-Saxon sputa, spora, related to spornan, spurnan, to kick, spurn; cf. Medieval High German Sporn, modern German Sporn, Dutch spoor, Frisian spoar. Generalized sense of "anything that urges on, stimulus" is recorded in English from c.1390.

The spur's use cannot with certainty be traced further back than Roman times. Early spurs had no neck, a prick being riveted to the shank. Prick spurs had straight necks in the 11th century and bent ones in the 12th. The earliest form of the horseman's spur armed the heel with a single prick. In England the rowel spur is shown upon the first seal of Henry III, but it does not come into general use until the 14th century.

The spurs of medieval knights were gilt and those of esquires silvered. "To win his spurs" meant to gain knighthood, as gilded spurs were reckoned the badge of knighthood. In the rare cases of ceremonious degradation, they were hacked from the knights heels by the cooks chopper. After the battle of the Golden Spurs in 1302 where the French chivalry suffered a humbling defeat, the victors hung up bushels of knights' gilt spurs in the churches of Kortrijk as trophies of what is still remembered by the Flemings as the Guldensporenslag (the battle of the golden spurs). For another reason the English named the French route beside Thérouanne as the Battle of Spurs.

In the 15th century, spurs appear with very long shanks, to reach the horse's flank below the outstanding bards. After this time, and until the beginning of the modern period of costume at the Stuart Restoration, they take many decorative forms, some of which remain in the great spurs worn by Mexican cavaliers.
