And don't forget that half of the Roman republican army consists of allies from all over Italy! There were strong trade relations with greek towns and a strong greek influence. I agree with MeinPanzer, I don't think all Roman soldiers wore montefortino or other Italian types of helmets.
What makes people so sure that this is a tribunes helmet if it were Roman? Roman soldiers bought their own equipment accodring to wealth and fashion.
