Italic D question for Jurjen or anyone else
#33
Matt there are two "pegs" at the side of this helmet which most people take as belonging to a centurion with a transverse crest. Makes sense. But I have also seen others use a longitudinal crest on these using the pegs as tie off points for leather straps. Here is a picture I got from RAT, hope the OP doesn't mind me using it:

Others use a plume (I think this is Peroni's):

Sorry I don't have a pic of a transverse crest but you get the idea.
