The Greek Corinthian helmet originated in Ancient Greece. The name came from the area of Corinth and the helmet was bronze. Later in the century the helm covered the entire head and neck of Greek soldiers. The Greek helm had slits for the eyes and mouth making it very hard for soldiers to see and breath in the helmet. The Greek helmet was similiar to those seen on Romans and Conquistadors. The Greek helm has a large curved projection to protect the nape of the neck
