Known as a Galea, this helmet has a sword sticking through it that then emerges from the skulls mouth. This haunting image is surrounded by crosses and scrolls along with an inscription reading Morte Prima di Disonore.

History

Fans of the Japanese Samurai will be quite familiar with the idea of Morte Prima di Disonore. Death before dishonor was central to these legendary warriors and their code of ethics known as Bushido. But ideas of military glory and honor can be traced back much further. We find it in ancient Rome with Catiline and before that in the works of Homer as he chronicles the events of the Trojan War and the journey of the hero Odysseus.
