I don't know how common they would be by that time but I am sure there must still have been a number in service. A forty or fifty year old helmet would probably not be at all uncommon in a Roman unit of pretty much any period. As long as it is combined with other items of kit which date to closer to the Marcomannic wars then there should not be any problem. The most important item to get right to get the period right is probably the belt fittings, as these always seem to be the items most subject to fashion.
