Come on, read what I have written. It is a general law, 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. In case of discontinuity you block this ability, so you increase the probability that the soldier is injured. And this is the reason for which they are doing monoblock helmets now.
Then, Spangenhelme and other helmets worn by archers on Trajan's Column. So, Romans perfectly knew it and they have not adopted for legionaries for centuries. It is useless that you try everytime to speak of other, this was well known and not used for long time. And there is independent evidence that Spangenhelme very like the Der-el-Medineh type were used by Roman troops, apparently cavalry, around AD 300. The reliefs on the Arch of Galerius at Thessalonika show this quite clearly. Then, this has been abandoned for a while and the ridge has been distributed in a homogeneous way. Probably, it was the compromise between the Spangenhelme and the II century mono-block design. So, as you an see, the Spangenhelme was adopted despite it has been discarded for long time.
All is pointing to the same direction, II century helmets provided a better protection.
