Actually, if you were in the Roman legion, yur best bet at staying alive was to be the standard-bearer. It was considered such an important symbol that it was extremely well protected. In the entire history of Roman battle, only two were ever lost, and one of them was later recovered. The standard-bearer was a VERY well protected soldier...

Pickelhaubes are really cool. They're from the old Germany (not the Nazis.)
They look cool and they're worth big bucks now, too. So that would be cool to have.

One of these days I should get a viking helmet and wear it in my office. Then people would know that I shouldn't be disturbed.

Or they would know, on the contrary, that you are very deeply disturbed...

They already know that. :lol:

One time I put on a football helmet and wore it for an hour to see what people would do.
