Carlo,I found yet another interesting pictures.I think you dont know this one,because if you knew you would almost certainly used it.It's from cathedral treasury in Milan and it shows Roman soldiers guarding the tomb of Christ.
Here,I agree those helmets clearly resemble something you drew.Also their shields are interesting-such lion head shaped umbo were found also from 3rd and 6th century.I'm not sure about the date of this work,I found different views ranged from 4-6th century.But still I am remaining rather sceptical.
