How do you define "feather-type helmet"? Post a pic to give us a clearer idea.

Any resemblance to a roman helmet is pure coincidence...

You mean a 'winged' helmet?
Maybe way back in the Bronze Age, but not in any way during the Republic/Empire.

This is a model of a Polish 'winged' hussar's helmet from the 17th century. Nothing Roman about it!
