Hello Gentlemaen. 

I am not sure if there is an answer to it, but why did the roman army switched from Montefortino to Coolus helmets?
I do get, that the Coolus and Imperial Gallic helmets covers more parts of the head, but it seems to me to be less comfortable and compact.
Also until when were the last Montefortino helemts used?
