It may be difficult to classify helmets by first find spot name as some
helmets no longer have that information connected with them.
I agree a new classification system is overdo but it may take a major
book on helmets to get the system accepted. It would be interesting
if the time period of estimated first use was reflected in the system.
Caesarian, Augustian, Early Republican, Late Imperial etc
Examples:
Early Imperial Gallic Type A1 (findspot unknown)
Late Imperial Italic Type 3c (Rheims)
