A paper from 1986 and doesn't cover the superiority of single piece vs multi part helmets, nor does it mention that some of these ridge helmets were better decorated than Gallic/Italic ones! (Bishop & Coulston Roman Military Equipment pp 210-216)
Ridge helmets existed side by side with Niederbieber/Heddernheim type helmets. While spangenhelms are depicted on Trajan's Column, they weren't displaced by ridge helmets, but in fact displaced helmets of bipartite construction by the 6th Century.
