Excellent! It certainly sends a shiver down the spine such as no film, however good the acting, CGI etc can, that this stuff is 2000 years old. Nice one Tristan and team! 🌟👍
Really enjoyed this video, thank you. Plus as a bonus it was fun reading all the comments from amateurs who think they are better than experts who have spent their whole careers identifying artefacts. Oh, by the way, a roman soldier was known as a legionary not a legionaire, that is the name for a soldier of a unit like the French Foreign Legion for example
I really like the Roman fiction kindle book series that feature legionary soldiers, Macro and Cato. Also, a couple of other fiction series with soldiers serving under Julius Caesar.
More! 3 secutor (EÏformige helme), 1 murmillo of subtypus Chieti, and one Thraex of subtypus Chieti, 5 murmillo helmet (one in the BM) of subtypus Pompei, and 2 thraex helmets (1 actually in Louvres) of sutypus Pompei. 2 provocator helmet from Weisenau type and one incomplete. A few isolated pieces. One controversial is the Murmillo Helmet of subtypus Berlin. We don't know where it was discovered.
We tend to think of Rome as some mythical place. But Emperor Marcinus creating a coin to commemorate the coliseum being repaired is something that would happen today.
Fun facts: That Severus Alexander Sestertius coin is extremely rare only few specimens are know, there is also much more rare Colosseum Gold Aureus and Silver Denarius minted during Severus Alexander reign, former sold 16y ago for 800.000$, but there is little bit more common and very similar Colosseum Medallion of Severus Alexander too ( interestingly Roman Medallions are almost always much more rare, expensive and quite mysterious pieces compared to their contemporary coins ) which are much more larger around 35-40mm, very great quality one sold a decade ago for around 100.000€. Luckily most Ancient Numismatic items are affordable even in great quality which i own many of them, but also compared to Banana with a duct tape on the wall that sold for 6million pounds these pieces are real timeless unique art pieces that tell important historical events and not just easy way to wash your dirty money.
Fantastic pieces. Just few precisions. For the oil lamp, the helmet figured by the oil lamp model is easy to identify it is the subtypus Berlin (because the original piece is in Berlin, but we do not really know from where this piece actually comes from). The crest on the helmet resemble to a head of an eagle because the animal figured is the mythical griffin, the way to remember the oriental origin of the thraex armatura. The second piece is possibly made of cow bone because the romans use a lot of these to do some objects like the handle of their gladius. The gladiator, effectively a murmillo wears a subtypus Berlin helmet once again. Unlike what you say, the murmillo never wears breast plate. The provocators do. For the fantastic helmet you show at the end, there are a lot of possibilities that it is effectively a gladiator helmet. It is the roman military Weisenau type a typical helmet in use in the roman legion during the 1 st century after JC and after. Here we have some differences with the military one. First, no ear holes, most of Weisenau have semi circular holes to don't have ears covered by metal. This is to be able to ear the order of the officers. Second, you have a triangular shape at the middle of the front (probably to adjust the face plates as we can see in the Pompei provocator helmet of the same subtypus especially the incomplete H31 1766/67). The holes on the front are to fix face protection (not in military use). No paragnathids place, no rivets for their. Sorry for possible english mistakes it is not my mother tongue.
Another Roman helmet was found in the late 1700’s at Ribchester in Lancashire and also resides at the British museum so this is not the only one. It’s assumed the earlier one is a ceremonial one as it is rather ornate but there is no solid evidence to prove this. Similar ones have been found in Europe that were definitely battle fought so it’s possible the Ribchester helmet was actually worn in the gladiatorial arena.
Just walked out of the British museum a few hours ago. Wow, what a building that is, and the artefacts are just something else. It's absolutely brilliant.. It's a must for everyone... and it's free... but it would be nice to slip them at least a fiver in support 🩵 loved it
Looks more like a Roman legionarie helmet to me. I wonder how many of those have been found. I would have thought alot but I thought therr would be more than one Gladiator helmet found but I suppose it's not that surprising thrre hasn't.
I wish the government of Italy and Egypt would restore both the Colliseum and the Pyramids. 2,000 + years old now, it would be crazy to know they are still standing as they were built 2,000 years from now.
That helmet looks a lot like a legionary helmet of the imperial-gallic design. I am not sure what would make you think that it was used by gladiators. The holes, attributed to the use of a face mask, could have been used to fix an interior lining, while the holes on the sides are exactly where the faceguards of legionary helmets would hinge.
Presenter should stick to his day job building models of the Acropolis out of toilet roll tubes and papier mache on Blue Peter. Thank goodness we have all the ‘experts’ in the comments to the correct to know nothing Dr’s of Archaeology at the British Museum.
Without doubt, the holes, the eye, and the other is a nostril in the tissue around it called the cere. Anyone into hawks falcons, etc, would know this. The placement is pretty realistic.
It's Brass? How thick is the metal? Would it have been able to take a hit, or was it for show and not expected to provide actual head protection? The brow guard suggests that it might provide some protection, is there any evidence of how it was worn (suspension?).
2 mm of brass (Junkelmann), The answer is yes. The brow guard is not for protection but to fit with the two face plates that actually cover the face of provocators. It was on the head like a normal Weisenau but before you put on your head you must tear on the face plates to enter your head inside. After you close it and attached with leather straps.
There's a recent study on a Nordic gladiator which shows Scandinavians were in Britain before the Vikings, undoubtedly true. I DNA match all five Celtic gladiators in that study but not the Nordic one. My DNA results have matches to hundreds of Varangians from medieval Novgorod to Byzantium, and I have modern 20% Danish/Swedish DNA without any modern Scandinavian relatives. My mother also has Icelandic DNA. Our DNA matches to Scandinavia in Britain start in 650 CE including Ireland. Our matches in Scandinavia start in the Iron Age 1200 BCE - 550 BCE Scandinavians started coming to the British Isles with the Romans, and again in the early 600s. The Viking period needs revising, as the Vikings were traders, settlers as well as raiders, our Nordic matches in Ireland at 650 CE are at a very well known religious site.
Not speculation at all. They know that Severus Alexander had the Colluseum repaired at the time the coin was minted. There is only ONE Colluseum, btw, & it's the one in Rome.
Started to join the channel until I saw no owner participation in the Comments section, so I moved along. Also, someone needs to tweak their spelling a little, "Artefacts".
The “expert” is basically lying. Not one of the details he uses to argue for it to be a gladiator helmet is accurate. He even admits it’s nothing like the Pompei helmets, after saying it was. It’s a standard type of legionary helmet. Not to say it couldn’t have been used by a gladiator. You have to use what you have at hand,I suppose. But there’s nothing about it to even suggest it was used that way. It’s amazing enough as a helmet worn by a Roman soldier during the integration of Britain into the Roman Empire.
@ Thankyou for filling in those details. It would have been great if they showed those correspondences on the video instead of mentioning the Pompei helmets.
So sick of film makers who have to try to make history better than it truly was. They always fail and then you get people who try to tell you that how it was in the film was how it was. I won't be going to see gladiator 2 for sure.
Roman Must Been Some Smart People But We All Have To Ask Where Did Rome Empire Get All It’s Ideas From Conquering Other Countries Where There Any Egyptians OR Nubians Medjays That Fought In The Roman Arena
If it’s not a gladiatorial helmet than what else would it be? No evidence of Roman’s ever wearing helmets such as that in battle, or any other place that they conquered. And all the depictions we see of helmets such as that are from gladiator art. Plus, who in their right mind would think wearing a 4kg-9lb helmet to battle would be a good idea? It’s clearly a stylistic helmet designed for spectacle.
You are called history hit for lords sake and this woman works for the British museum and they say colosseum.. there is no such building. The depiction on the coin and the famous circular arena in Rome was the Flavian amphitheatre.... You said colosseum to a Roman and they would look at you puzzled
Doesn't look a Gladiator helmet at all. Look way more like a naval infantry helmet from the Classis Britannia fleet..Probably from the Vespasian dinasty. They use helmets, mixed between the legion and Roman fireman..
I'm giving the silly movie a swerve. I much prefer to be 'up close and personal' with facts and artefacts. The celebration of Roman bestial cruelties will never dissipate. We are, as a species, technologically advanced killer apes with an isatiable lust for violence. Better the more modern museum than the ancient gladitorial arena. Thank you Tristan. Most interesting.
Haha. We as a species do not have an insatiable lust for violence. We are over crowded and competing for resources. The competition for limited space and finite resources is only going to get worse in the future.
@@perceivedvelocity9914 I suggest that history dictates otherwise. Over-crowding is a relatively modern phenomenon. Professional boxing is violence, watching violent films is a passion for millions, so yes, as a species we lust for violence. There's no fun, 'til someone dies.
Who asked for a gladiator 2 movie? Everyone died in the first. There is nothing to continue. Can you not just make a different movie involving Rome and gladiators? Plus the ads make it seem either half about a sea battle/siege and the colosseum or some musician/Pepsi in the colosseum. The ads don’t even give an idea of a plot or any actors in it. Also it’s going to be enragingly inaccurate from the quick flashes the ads do show

Naples museum has four intact gladiator helmets from Pompeii. 😊

Yes, I saw them when they toured Seattle a few years ago with the Pompeii exhibit ☮️☮️

Just like attacking your neighbor to steal their land
No one thinks Rome is a mythical place. And that emperor is called Macrinus, not Marcinus.
Rome never ended......
Well, of all the places, Rome was certainly one of them, I will give you that.

Enjoyed this
The green lamp bird is a Peregrine Falcon. We could easily remake that today.
The protome is actually a griffin not a real animal.
No interest in Movie since the Trailers showed gladiators riding Rhinos into the Colosseum Still love real British and Roman history!!!!!
I wasn't interested but riding a rhino sounds epic. So cool these Romans
Same. Ridiculous Americanised foolishness.

I've been looking for that helmet, was my favourite.
Viricoude 😊
It looks like a standard helmet, possibly a coolus. Rivets at the front are very common on Imperial Gallic and Imperial Italic helmets.
Looks like a Gallic G type.
@@paula3124 No 'eyebrows' on the front though...........
Actually, the first film was recorded at the Tunisian colosseum, because it still has its flooring.
Skip to 16:26 for helmet.
If you do that, you'll miss the very cool gladiator action figure.
It’d be nice if they had a replica of the helmet in its full splendid to display alongside the genuine article.
spent a LOT of time on the coin!
Ad fantastic 😊
Looks more like a Roman legionarie helmet to me. I wonder how many of those have been found. I would have thought alot but I thought therr would be more than one Gladiator helmet found but I suppose it's not that surprising thrre hasn't.
I though the same thing ,,,not a gladiator helmet at all
They probably used the helmets to make soup later on
The helmet was not worn by a gladiator. It's a soldier's helmet. Helmets were made in different regions of Italy having different styles.
Rome was awesome but ngl, was kinda dissapointed they didnt have a single set of roman centurion/soldier armour anywhere.
I wish the government of Italy and Egypt would restore both the Colliseum and the Pyramids. 2,000 + years old now, it would be crazy to know they are still standing as they were built 2,000 years from now.
That's a lot of money to spend when people now need things. Appeal to private sectors for that
I agree! Lets have the games again!
Of course the hole is the eye, the smaller more oval shaped thing is the nostril of the eagle’s beak
.Thanks.

Gladiator helmet? Clutching at straws. Looks very much like a standard legionary service helmet (pre Trajan) to me.
Looks like a Roman soldier helmet
The heck with the artifacts....I'm interested in seeing Dr anna willy !! ❤️
crazy how more people have viewed this video than Gladiator 2

Nah, that hole is the birds eye...the small mark in front it's nostril...🤷♂️
I agree
No, a falcon's nostril is on the beak.
9:42 the hole is definitely ment to be the eye. What's in front of the hole is the nostril not the eye.

It's as inaccurate as your spelling and punctuation.
