The first Roman examples appear about 30-40 years later, which is not terribly long in terms of Roman helmet evolution.No Nathan, the problem is that you are not able to confute an explanation based on science and not on dialectics. If you are not able to confute this really simple fact, it is useless to look for explanations to get around the problem.
However, once introduced they remained in constant production for well over a century. I get the strong impression that nothing anybody says will cause you to question your assumptions, but once again I'd ask why the Romans kept making these helmets if they were so 'inferior'?
