What Wikipedia says

A galea (Latin: [ˈɡaɫea]; from Ancient Greek γαλέη (galéē) 'weasel, marten') was a Roman soldier's metal helmet, most famously worn by the heavy infantry of the legions. Some gladiators, specifically murmillo (myrmillo), also wore bronze galeae with face masks and decorations, often a fish on its crest.
