Hello Dr. Bishop,
Sorry for the late response. For some reason I did not receive an update to my email about other posts.
So the Vize cavalry helmet would be a sports helmet and not worn in battle since it is made completely of copper alloy and not iron with some sort of covering?
However, this helmet does have hair beaten into the bowl and has a scene of Scylla thrashing a boat while men a fleeing away. Also there are figures on the cheek pieces. Exactly all the criteria for a battle helmet minus the material.
I would agree with the Haltern helmet having the features of the Xanthen helmet you posted.
