Avete,
thank You, Conal, for the picture of that phantastic piece. Is that a fish on top of the fragile open-work crest referring may-be to a myrmillo? Also there seems to be some kind of serpent decoration at the brim.
On this site You find a helmet with a rather similar brim although I think of another later type lacking its visor:
