Interesting, since it seems like a prototype for the much later Migration & Vendel Period helms.

I like this theory, especially since it seems implausible that the Germanic people would be completely devoid of artistic craftsmanship during mid antiquity, given they've been around as long as the Celts. For example: The beautiful spangenhelms we see during late antiquity HAD to have evolved from something rather than thin-air or imitation. Yes, it's true that the Germans utilized Roman and Persian armour, the former usually through raids, and the latter through trade and learning the techniques. However, you can clearly see their artistic and cultural influence on them, as the designs and metal work is unique to those 2 cultures, rather than blatant rip-offs.

Tl;dr: The whole "ancient germans were dumb barbarians with no creativity" claim is stupid to me
