Again, it is not subjective but objective, it is science material. You can take whatever material science book and you will find that the greater is the area without discontinuity, the greater will be the ability to dissipate the power, so to protect the head, that is what is measuring the quality on an helmet. This is measuring the quality of the helmet, not the decorations. You can create a thread with a poll for the better decoration, here the topic concerns the ability to protect.
And again, you have asked why, the reply is simple and well given. And all the collected points go in the same direction: not only, then, was there a complete change in the design of Roman helmets. There was a simultaneous decline in standards of manufacture. These changes must be seen against the historical background of contemporary developments in the army and the armaments industry itself. And this has lead to helmets that were not matching the standards of the second century.
And again, the usage of the Spangenhelme is well attested in this period, and it was used at least after two centuries that it was already known. Why? Because better? No way. Simply for the disastrous conditions of the empire. It is really simple and is a point that you cannot deny, even if you are trying with dialectics.
Both the points, the inductive and the deductive one converge. And this is well reflected by the disastrous management of the borders of the empire followed Constantin. Already with the sons, the borders were broken on the Rhine and in the East. Very far from being a florid situation.
