Dates for Roman helmet types are largely guesswork. Some individual examples can be tied to a particular deposition date, but we have little way of knowing how long the use of each type may have extended. The Montefortino seems to have continued in use for a very long time.
For the late republic, the Buggenum type of late Montefortino was almost certainly in use (this one comes from Carnuntum, so must be Augustan at least). It was probably used alongside the Mannheim type of early Coolus, and perhaps some early Gallic Port or Agen style helmets.
