Painted legionary helmets?

[Magnus]

My point about the PhD Tarbi is that without an expert's opinion on the subject matter in this particular case, it's hard to be accurate in assessing what they are or aren't. Especially given the lack of evidence concerning the use of the "eyeball" theme in roman helmets...eyebrows aside.

So based on that, I'd just be careful about saying "X" must be "A" without something else to back it up and certainly in this particular helmet's instance because of all the other jewels on it.
