Thanks for your input tarbicus, since I'm working on an officers impression I was originally going to go with the Attic type, but I think I'm going to go now with the Rhodes/Corfu panalopy helmet instead. With the depictions of non-attic types and the autun helmet, surely officers must've worn other types aside from the typical attic type always shown. It seems to me a more hellenistic type helmet would surely suite the tastes of phil-hellene Roman aristocrats. I'm a bout 99% positive on this choice of headgear, but I'd like to hear other peoples opinions as to this as well.
