"Phrygian cap" helmet with plate neck protection

Helmet “Phrygian cap” got its name after Thracian cap, soft rounded cap with the top directed forward. It was called after Phrygia, an ancient country in the central part of Asia Minor. It is known as a symbol of freedom and revolution. Such was widely used by the tribes, who inhabited Thrace, Dacia and Dalmatia in ancient times.

Later, this name spread on helmets with typical, leant forward, dome. Imprints of this helmet are often found on the graphic sources and bás-reliefs dated 12th - first half of 13th century. Helmet was in active use by Macedonian soldiers.
