This helmet, known as a sallet, was based on those used by the Romans and Greeks and were very fashionable in the second half of the 15th century. The lower edge and the face-opening of this helmet have been trimmed and extra rivet holes made indicating that it has been altered for use in pageants, probably in Venice where such helmets continued to be used in parades until at least the 18th century. reference term-118913 adlib-term-118913 da4525bb-b265-33e3-960f-8c1e70f808ea 15th Century, Mid reference term-106511 adlib-term-106511 0677a51e-a816-3f2c-bd69-4dde898eab76 literal Italy Italy country Milan around 0.3% C, consisting of ferrite and pearlite with slag inclusions.
