Thrace was a client kingdom from 20 BC until it was annexed by Rome in 46 AD. If the helmet dates to this period and was found inside Thrace it might justifiably be called "Thracian". It does appear to be identical to contemporary Roman types, though the 'hair decoration' found on many Roman cavalry helmets is often described as being of Thracian origin.
