Very nice new stuff guys. The next helmet from Adrian already sports this item I think.
These crest attachments were already known for some time, earlier misrepresented as 'badges', but at least since the article about the Héteny helmet they've been recognised as add-ons for late Roman helmet crests.
I'm not sure though whether the entire lenght of the piece represents also the height of the crest.
