I'm no expert on Italic helmet types, but do Apulo-Corinthian helmets ever have volutes? It seems much more likely that this guy wears a Hellenistic-type helmet, just like all the other soldiers on the Ahenobarbus reliefs.

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
