The mingling of the helms

[damianlz]

Of all the scenes in ancient history people think about, none play within my mind more than the day the intercisa helm was introduced too the roman legion. When raw recruits were marched into camp as legionaries and the murmuring amonst the troops as too the new helmet and panoply design, groans about change and veterans later nicking helmets too have a better look at them.

While I know we don't have an exact introduction of the Intercisa and phase out date of the Imperial/auxiliary helms I do wonder if they ever served (however briefly) within the same unit. Too those who are better with military dates would anyone know a likely candidate time, battle or even legion where such a changeover would be possible.
