Beautiful looking helmets, thanks for sharing this information!
We can only guess how strong was the Hellenic influence over the helmets of Roman noble and senior officers and elite soldiers as well until the end of I BC and even after this time!

One of my suggestions for a good looking Roman helmet which belongs to not ordinary soldiers is for example this Deepeeka Celtic helmet!
Italian reenactors found how useful this helmet may be!

I personally hope Deepeeka to let us have it but made by Brass.
With small cutting procedures to reduce the size of two lateral sides and the neck shelter too we could have really not bad version of a helmet which may be wear by Roman senior officers!
