You mean the one at the Toledo Museum? That's the very one I mention in another thread just fifteen minutes after speaking to the museum's registrar on the phone and being told it's been found to be a fake. She's sending me more information.

I was so gobsmacked to see it myself I dug around a bit more and found a reference on the web about a fake Roman helmet at the Toledo museum. I couldn't bear not to know so I picked up the phone, and before I could get the full question out she said "Fake."
Addendum: The helmet was sold to the museum in good faith by a reputable dealer. Analysis methods have improved much since 1960.
