What about some type of typography that includes:
1. Helmet type Auxilliary, Infantry, Cavalry etc. These could be represented with the appropriate letter codes, "A", "I", and "C".
2. Helmet era...ER could be early republic, LR late republic, etc. etc.
3. Then assign a geological code...France for example could be divide up into several regions, assigned a number..."FR1" would mean France area 1.
4. Keep the gallic / itallic designations, but expand it, so late roman helmets have their own designation.
So some kind of helmet found in France area 3, infantry type from the late republic era would be like: Gallic C, LRFR5.
Variants could be designated by a "V1" or "V2" for each "version".
Ok, it is clunky...but maybe someone could come up with a better codex than me. But this way you don't have super long names describing the helmet, just a quick easy code/acronmym that people could readily use and identify.
Of course, i'm also very tired...
