      The distinctive rotated crest could go on many of these helmets, most of those in the early Imperial period would have had a crest holder at the top for easy installation and removal.

      Yep! The neck protection, cheekguards, and exposed ears (for hearing orders) are the most distinctive features of the Gallic and Italic style helmets used in the early Empire.
