Pilos helmet with cheek pieces appears on a 2nd century B.C. macedoninan coin that has gorgonio in one side and the helmet on the other.
Source: Treso Numismatique at de Glyptotheque Paris 1858 Didiere & Cie on page 29. It is referenced as AE Mionett, No 564.

Personally though I lean on the late Hellenistic or even roman helemet for Rome's allied contignents but the pilos is not ahistorical as it seems.

Kind regards
