Very nice pictures. I would have thought that by that time an Intercissa type helmet could have been around 150 years old but then, if it was still serviceable I am sure it would still have been in use.

All the known helmets of the type are dated to the 4th century, yet it is possible they were well used into the 5th. Helmets displayed on the Santa Marria Maggiore mosaics (circa 430) or on the Vergilius Romanus codex (5th century, possibly from Britain) are much reminescents of the type. Of course it could also be pseudo-attic helmets and artistical convention. Ridge helmets on the whole were probably still produced as they seems to be the direct ancestors of the Anglo-saxon 7 and 8th centuries helmets such as Pioneer/Wollaston or Coppergate. The Sutton Hoo helmet itself bears much ressemblance to the Berkasovo type if you take out the mask and the decoration.
