I know you're looking for actual examples of helmets, but here is a depiction of a Montefortino with side plumes on a 3rd c. BC proxeny decree for a Roman from the Sicilian city of Entella. Items depicted on proxeny decrees are usually associated with the individual receiving the honour, and so this helmet is very likely Roman.

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
