Robinson saw in this piece the Hellenistic or Republican Roman forerunner of the mask helmets and datet it in the 1st C. BC. Junkelmann would not rule out an earlier date.
Garbsch datet it in the early 2nd C. AD on stylistic reasons.
Found in 1854 it might have been a chance find and no context known.
Funnily Robinson said it to be of bronze (as on the museum's website), Garbsch said iron with bronze and D'Amato Iron and silver. Fischer ("Die Armee der Caesaren" 2012) says it is made of only one piece...
Perhaps the newer Serbian articles on this helmet might be of interest.
