Iconography often shows Gods and heroes using crests, while archaeology suggest that mortals generally did not use have them. Generals, officers and those of high status perhaps, but generally no.

I suspect re-enactors chose crests for all sorts of reasons. Painted helmets would make a pleasant change.
