Would agree with Nathan, the helmet looks like a civil defence or possibly an old fashioned hard hat..
The Brodie Helmet was made from maganese steell and designed to stop shrapnel a sort of long range cannister shot:

Typically the brodie was tested using a standard .45 military pistol at close range, I dont think a falx would even scratch it...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
