Sounds exciting! Hard to know what to make of the helmet though...

Interesting but, yes, very difficult to make anything of the helmet prior to restoration.
The excavators earlier speculated that one of the Montefortinos (PW11-0030) could have been Carthaginian based on an inscription. For a publication of the finds made to date see
Tusa & Royal
Also, one of the rams, Egadi 7 has one of the most realistic depictions of a Montefortino with a triple feather crest. See fig. 10 in Tusa & Royal and pic no. 4 on this site:
