Evidence for legionary vs auxiliary helmet patterns
#15
Tim, with respect to one of your questions as to why iron helmets are found more so than brass helmets or copper alloy is because the copper alloy helmets made use of more valuable materials. This is true especially for brass since under Augustus one of the coin types was made from the same material (I believe it was the sest.)
