I believe that's the Berzobis helmet, an Imperial Gallic D now kept in Bucharest. It is in the helmet database, but there's no picture (click on 'remarks' for more details):
Many thanks Nathan Ross. I revised all indicated literature attentively. It is sorry there are not photos. Only pictures.

And there is not have scale. It will do a reconstruction difficult. Мaybe possible to take information about the sizes of alike in due form helmets? Like this (Helm of Sochi)? http://badaew.narod.ru/sochi/sochi.jpg
This particular helmet if it be Gallic or anything other shows how the cross pieces have been added to maybe stand up to the Dacian Falcs, so might we say very late 1st to early 2nd century in its useage.
Septimus - you're English isn't bad at all! Thank you for asking the question and allowing us all to share the information :wink:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

As far as I know, the "eyebrows" of this size and shape can be found on helmets dated back to the 1st half of 1 century AD - so maybe it's a kind of "old-fashioned" helmet modified in the late 1st - early 2nd century AD.

Given that it comes from the short-lived legionary fortress of Berzovia, I think the very early 2nd century is a pretty good bet ;-)
The standard publication of this helmet is

You know my method. It is founded upon the observance of trifles
Gosh - I had no idea until now that the Berzobis helmet had been so heavily restored. hock:
