That covers about 1000 years and a dozen cultures.
If you have something in particular in mind, we can likely point you to an appropriate source.

Icefalcon sells a "Byzantine" style helmet, but as D mentioned that covers a lot of years and cultures.

Can't wait for you to get your image up there for the Turkish Oniondome.

Nice work Your Grace!

DA is actually right. At that time in the "Empire", you want to look at Genoan, Latin, Turk, Bulgar, and what other neighbors were wearing.
