A careful study of the helmet reveals that these were not SOLDIER helmets, but the ROMAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE team helmets.

Nothing at like we see depicted in movies. Is that due to where the soldiers were stationed? Is is ceremonial?

The artefact is known as the Crosby Garrett Helmet, after the village in northwestern England where it was found in May by a man combing a field using a metal detector whose identity was not released. Well, that metal detector should come forward and claim the recognition that it rightfully deserves.

AN ancient Roman helmet found in a British field by a treasure hunter with a metal detector has sold for 2.3 million pounds ($3.7 million), auctioneers Christie's say. Naturally it's worth its weight in gold. A Roman helmet with a metal detector!
Oh ... . Had to reread to clear that up.

Interesting design. Looks Persian or Scythian in form.

“It was found in 67 fragments but cleaned and restored by Christie’s.”
...remarkable that all the pieces were there.

For the Romans, the Phrygian cap acquired additional symbolism, because it was given to manumitted slaves when they received their freedom. Someone in a Phrygian cap, therefore, could be identified as a citizen of the Roman Empire, with all the rights and privileges that entailed. Some people have suggested that since many slaves came from Anatolia, the Phrygian cap was a symbol that the slave had returned to his or her roots.
