Thanks Martijn, very interesting hock: !

Looks like a celtic helmet with a roman style brow-quard, never seen any helmet like this before....

[Neuraleanus]

Looks to me more like a Gallic A, not a Coolus.

[LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS]

Or an Agen/ Port type?

Shouldn't we be looking at it from the other angle.... Helmet finds should define our definitions of Helmet typology. Not the other way around.

Besides, applying Robinson's typology is only useful if you are going to use it draw further deductions about the helmet or about the changes in Roman Helmets over time.

Or an Agen/ Port type?

I have been in contact with Dr. Mike Thomas about this helmet who classifies it indeed as an Agen-Port type.
