Were there any difference in respect to the helmet used by the Parthians in the last decades? For example with the helmets used by Parthians during Septimius Severus time, or under Caracalla, or under Severus Alexander? Do we have any sources that says that they were different helmets?
Also, Sextus Julius Africanus died in 240, and honestly in that period Sassians were just starting to create problems, that were not so different in respect to the problems ROme had with the Parthians.
I am also interested in understanding when the ridge helmet can be considered as standard equipment in the Roman Army. Not talking about the cavalry but about heavy infantry troops. From the coins of Costantine we know that probably they were used during his time, but when where they started to be widely used?
