For what I have read, the Niederbieber helmet, derived from cavalry helmets, was mainly used by the new Septimius Severus' legions, and after spread in other legions, but the Imperial Italic helmet (mainly G and H) were still in use after the 200AD.
The Imperial Italic Helmets, which replaced the Imperial Gallic, are considered to be an innovation made mainly for the Dacian wars (cross reinforcement to face dacian heavy weapons), and following evolved to increase the protections against Parthian arrows.
