During the 3rd c. in the Danube region. The earliest Roman may be late 3rd c., from Egypt (now in the Leiden museum).

Quote:The Egyptian one is the one from Deir el Medinah right?No, that one is a bit later. This one is much simpler: http://img290.echo.cx/img290/2306/casquedegypte4eg.jpg Quote:Are the non-Roman ones in the Danube region from Germanic origin?Yes they are, although the first are already visible on Trajan's Column, worn by Sarmatians.
