...I would agree, nothing terribly unusual about it....fairly typical..
If you look beyond the shared characteristics of almost all Hellenistic helmets, it is fairly unique in shape, and not like any other example that I know of from the Hellenistic period. Maybe you could post a similar example?

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
