why should Roman tribune helmets not be hellenistic?
M.VIB.M.
The chance that of all the possible soldiers who could have worn that helmet it would be a Roman tribune is very small. You might as well look at a xiphos found near Macedonia and declare it the sword of an officer of the Hetairoi.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
