The Ancient Warfare brochure has an illustration on page 4 by Graham Sumner showing what appears to be an Agen type helmet. Are there any Agen type examples surviving from the mid 1st century BC. I am interested in a possible reconstruction of this type of helmet in this period. I have been able to find this one example so far and unsure as to when it dates from.
Thanks.

I would have to look through some of my source material on this but I think there are surviving helmets of similar type with rivited on stepped tails that are the direct ancestor of the Gallic type(HR Robinson classification). This one seems stylisticly similar to those.
