The Autun helmet is hardly what is usually understood under the term "Apulo-Corinthian". That´s why we call it the "Autun Helmet" and not the "Apulo-Corinthian helmet from Autun".

...the Autun helmet has all the characteristics of what are now referred to as 'Apulo-Corinthian' types. In Russell-Robinson's day, this term hadn't yet been coined, and he referred to the type as 'debased Corinthian type'.....and he firmly defined this helmet as 'debased Corinthian type from Autun'. To deny that the Autun example is of what we now refer to as 'Apulo Crinthian' is pedantic to say the least. What characteristic of this type does the Autun example lack? D
