things like that make me imagine. that helmet was worn into combat by a roman charioteer. that actual object was worn by a driver, probably with one or two archers behind him, tied to the chariot, so they could fire into the enemy as they passed. the archers may have had shields to protect themselves and the charioteer. the wheels may have had sharp implements attached to keep people from trying to board. the horses would have had light armor, to deflect enemy arrows, while not hampering their movement too much....and that helmet was there....at Cannae, at Trebbia, at Phillipi.....maybe even at Pharsalus, where Julius Caesar finally cornered and defeated PompeyRoman Cavalry Helmut
