Why is that odd? I & II Adiutrix were raised in 69 & 70 AD. 10.000+ troops needing equipment all at once. The Romans might have enlisted the help of all blacksmiths to make one helmet to a single design?<br>
If it were a regimental tradition, I'd expect that +/- 15.000 naval troops in Ravenna and Misenum for 300 years would have at least brought one such helmet to light. However, to be fair, their bases have hardly been excavated. <p>Greets<br>
