Emeraldweapon7d,
You surely mean the 'Roman horn helmet'. Its original was found in 1959 in a Frankish grave under the Dome of Cologne, containing the remains of a lady and a boy, the helmet is thought to have belonged to the boy. So the designation 'Roman horn helmet' is somewhat misleading IMO, it suggests that it might have belonged to the type of helmet that was used by the Hamian archers in Roman auxiliary service, about 1st / 2nd century AD. Indeed the helmet is of 'Spangenhelm' type, about 5th / 6th century AD and has been mentioned in this topic before:
