Salve!
It is actually in the database as Auxiliary cavalry ACE 07 (Belgrade), but your link contains good pictures and interesting additional information.
It is interesting to see that it actually appears to be in the Museum of Sombor, not Belgrade. The publication mentioned in the link appears to be:
Vujovic, Miroslav
Rimski slem iz Sivca
Roman Helmet from Sivac
Verlag: Gradski muzej (Sombor), 2008
Sprache: Serbisch
Kyrillische Schrift, Illustriert
Broschur, 84 Seiten, Format: 210 x 270 mm
ISBN 86-911883-7
but it is in Serbian.
If any RATer speaks Serbian and has access, it would be great to know what they make of the helmet and its inscription because this is a fascinating helmet with an interesting inscription and the original publication (Velenrajter, P. 1978-79: 'A Roman helmet with an inscription found at Sivac', Grada za proucavanje spomenika kulture Vojvodine 8-9, 17-20) is rather short.
Finally, observers should be aware that, at least based on the original publication, the brow and skull reinforcements appear to be modern reconstructions or an amalgam with other finds because Velenrajter's photos do not show these.
