I find this helmet very interesting with regards to a Roman Denarius that I found recently dated to 148 BC, this coin has the head of Roma wearing a very similar type without of course cheek plates.
The crest type on the coin is very interesting where it has a one with spikes instead of a plain ridge and not having a macro lens on my camera I have added a copy taken from a book to show more detail.
