I checked the book by Marcus Junkelmann "Das Spiel mit dem Tod" where he tries to classify the various types of helmets. A helmet which would look similar to the one on the link is called "attisch-böotisch" (sorry, don't know what that would be in English :? ) and is dated as a gladiator helmet of the late Republic - as Conal has already mentioned.
A sign for an early period is also that this helmet does not have a visor. Later gladiator helmets always had a visor.
