Max, as far as i know, the association of Apulo-Corinthian helmets with the triarii is just a reenactorism. No evidencie of it at all. In fact, if Polybius is describing the Roman army of the second half of the 3rd c BC or beginning of the 2nd c BC, A-C wouldn't be in use anymore. The later ones are from the 4th c BC. And not found in Roman context, but south Italian.
PS. someone in contact with the Egadi battle excavations said a while back that he had heard that among the finds where some A-C helmets, what would push them to the middle of the 3rd c BC. But it is just rumors for the moment!
