History
The Corinthian helmet's design grace the wearer better hearing and vision and was also a lighter and less bulky helmet.  It consisted of a hemisperical dome, and below that, generally inset from the top dome, a pair of cheek pieces and a neck guard, with a substantial loop on either side for the wearer's ears.  In the front, between the two cheek pieces, was a small nasal bar to protect the wearer's nose.  The helmet could be entirely one piece, or the cheek pieces could be attached seperately by hinges, which eased construction and made putting the helmet on easier.
