Best choice for a 5th century british helmet

[Flavivs Aetivs]

What's a base ring?

I still support the Intercisa for the dominant helmet of the 5th century. They just made so many of them, and as far as we know the Romans maintained control of all of the Gallic, Italic, and Dalmatian Fabricae until after the death of Aetius when the Franks overran north Gaul.

I understand there have been so few finds of the 5th century though, and I'd imagine it was because the Romans and friends re-used everything they could until it broke beyond repair, because money was tight in the west. We also have yet to uncover any decent 5th century archaeological sites. Chalons is still lost to time, and much of the fighting in the 5th century took place in farmland, so anything found would have been melted.scrappe din the middle ages.
