This helmet dates from the last half of the first century, which continued through the second and third centuries. It is essentially the same design as othe Imperial Gallic helmets but differs in that it was made in the cupric alloy orichalcum (brass) instead of iron. Brass helmets suggest a higher rank, perhaps that of optio.
