It was once thought (Robinson, Feugère) that the Niederbieber-helmets of "Auxiliary-Cavalry" types E-F have been made for Cavalry use only, but today it is widely accepted (Ubl, Waurick, Junkelmann) that they have been worn by Infantry and Cavalry alike.
They have been in use from the late 2nd to late 3rd Century AD.

Many thanks for your help.
Do you know suppliers who make accurate replicas of these helmets ? Deepeeka offer these models but I don't know whether they are good or bad ? Holger Ratsdorf (HR Replikate) proposes a beautiful Auxiliary E but price is over 1000 € ...
All the best.
