Thank you, how fascinating. I know a bit about these types of helmets but not as much as I want to know. Ritual, standards of the units and fortress architecture were my main areas. I'm sort of branching out with this but it ties in well I feel with the studies of ritual and standards that I've done. My dream is to write a book all about ritualistic behaviour in the Roman military from about 2nd century BC to 2nd century AD. Of course it ties in with the helmets, the standards and architecture. I'm constantly disappointed by the lack of writing on Roman military religion and ritual. I tried to do my MA thesis on the cult of the signa and genii in the Roman military but there just wasn't enough out there!
