Early Roman helmets were made of brass, a malleable alloy of copper and zinc. Later helmets were made of bronze, a very strong, hard alloy of copper and tin. Still later some helmets were made of iron, which is not as strong as bronze but was easier to find. The Romans worked some of their iron with carbon, but they are not thought to have developed true steel.

Artisans would heat and hammer the metal into shape, often adding decorative elements like crests or engravings. The helmet typically featured a neck guard and cheek plates for additional protection, and it was often lined with padding for comfort. Finally, leather straps were attached to secure the helmet on the wearer's head.
Some of it was made of steel, some parts were iron, which was less expensive than steel, and certain parts were bronze which was more expensive than steel, but superior in several respects, such as that it does not rust.
