Roman helmets, the galea or cassis, varied significantly over time and between different types of military units. It is thought that originally they were influenced by the helmets of the Etruscans. The Romans then, still in the early days, adopted the bronze helmets of the Greeks. Later the design of Roman helmets were influenced by the design of the helmets of the Gauls. They also had a crest holder. The crest were made with plumes or horse hair. The crest of the legionaries were mounted in a back to front direction, while those of the centurions were mounted transversely. In the later period of the empire they were used only occasionally.
