It was a round capped bronze helmet with a small neckguard, and appears to have been the forerunner of the early 1st-century legionary helmet.
The helmet continued to be tied on with two straps under the chin and tied to the cheekpieces.
The Intercisa helmets of the 4th century are not related to the early legionary helmets and may have been introduced by mercenaries in the Danube region.

One of the helmets in the deposit has writing on it which appears to be in a Germanic language.
The helmet may be associated with the historically attested movements of the Cimbri, who won a battle against the Romans at Noreia, near Negau, around this time.
This helmet, if it is from the Cimbri, could give us a clue as to what their language was.

Helmets and shields of various forms were borrowed from the Greeks and the tribes living in the Eastern Alps, and apparently, swords were of great value.
Representing another method of noble combat relying on ancient tradition, the Elite Etruscan Swordsmen wear a Negau helmet and an intimidating facemask which invokes their savage ancestry, they are heavily armored with greaves and a metal breast plate.

She also provides a systematic description of the production of the component parts of the helmet -- it was beaten from bronze sheet rather than cast -- as well as noticing signs of ritual damage.
In the introduction (28) she emphasises the influence of the wares of Picene armourers on the Etruscans and the development of the Negau helmet (no. 233 is a fine example, perhaps manufactured in Vulci).
It is notable that Turfa's discussion of the Picene and Negau helmets is probably the only thing readily available in English in a field dominated by German and Italian studies.

Actually, most warriors did not wear any helmet at all; helmets were mainly used by "rich" persons and professional warriors, Tacitus mentions that only a few individual warriors wore iron or leather helmets, in later periods helmets became more widely used but the early Germans mostly fought bare-headed.
The Germans also made their own helmets of which a few examples have been found; most of them had cheek protection like Roman and Celtic helmets and were sometimes decorated with animals, some Germanic helmets had a small boar on the top that represented power, strenght, and fertility.
Another characteristic of Germanic helmets is the face protection, sometimes this was limited to an iron protection for the eyes and sometimes entire masks were added to the helmet like the one found in Sutton Hoo in England.

 Two bronze helmets on etruscan typology coming from a Roman wreck found at Les Sorres anchorage
Above it, and taking up the whole helmet body, there is a vegetable stem, which has the shape of a roller and finishes in the centre of each side of the helmet with a button in the shape of a small rose.
Parallels and chronology: There are seven helmets of this type in the Berlin Museum, some of which decorated, that have been dated as belonging to the 4th and 3rd centuries BC (Bottini et alii, 1988, p.39-40, num.93/99.
A helmet of the same type can be seen in the Etruscan collections of the Vatican Museums and another one was found in a warrior's grave in the Fosso dell'Osteria in the Vulci necropolis.

On one of the helmets ("Negau B"), there is an inscription in a northern Etruscan alphabet.
The four discrete inscriptions on the helmet usually called "Negau A" are read by Markey as: Dubni banuabi \'of Dubnos the pig-slayer\'; sirago turbi \'astral priest of the troop\'; Iars\'e esvii \'Iarsus the divine\'; and Kerup, probably an abbreviation for a Celtic name like Cerubogios
Helmets of the Negau type were typically worn by priests at the time of deposition of these helmets, so they seem to have been left at the Zenjak site for ceremonial reasons.

The helmet was part of a cache found in 1811 near Negau (today Zenjak, Slovenia).
The "Harigast helmet is named for the inscription written in a northern Etruscan alphabet and found scratched into the brim.
It was previously considered the oldest preserved example of the runic (Germanic) alphabet an interpretation that today has largely been abandoned.

Helmets in the early Republican period do not have a brow band or cross-bracing: we are talking about Italo-Corithian, Attic, maybe Pylos, maybe some Negau helms very early on, and later a Republican style Montefortino, looking much like your standard Celtic helm only sometimes with different cheekplates.
There are at least one or two surviving Imperial-Gallic helmets that have had these added as a "retrofit", with the original crest fittings either removed or the bars slapped on right over them.
After that, helmets were made with the bars as a planned component, like the Italic G from Hebron, or the Thielenhofen infantry helmet (these date c.

The majority of helmet types on Apulian vase painting tend to be the standard Corinthian, Pilos, Attic and Phyrgian, usually with some form of crest-plume attached and with or without cheek-guards.
On a column krater by the Prisoner Painter the helmet’s position and crested appearance indicate it to be of this type and not Corinthian.
Though helmets are less common in the archaeological record than metal belts the may have been depicted on simple naiskos scenes for an idealised version that was not too far from reality.

 Lord Tyr, God of the North, Who is He?
He was one of the gods who had a day of the week set aside to honor him.
Oldest European God, his name has been found inscribed (in Runes) on swords, shields and helmets, the most ancient of which is the Negau helmet found in Austria near the Yugoslav border in 1929 dating amazingly to 600 BC.
It means "Army-Guest" as though the wearer of the helmet invited the god Teiva into his own body (as a "guest") to lead the army and win the battle.

 A Brief History of the Runes
In 1812 a helmet was unearthed at Negau near the border of Austria and Yugoslavia.
Inscribed upon the helmet are the words hargasti teiwa, which indicates that someone who spoke Proto-Germanic knew the North Italic script and used it in writing his own language.
It must be noted that this theory gives sufficient time for the runestaves to be in use in Denmark and Norway in the third century CE.

There are eight Greek Corinthian helmets, VERY fascinating, but I won't go into details here--let me know if you need to know more about them.
Another case contained a Negau-type helmet and a short muscled cuirass that was somewhat squashed flat, also 4th to 3rd century BC.
The rim of the helmet seemed to be done in the same way as the one on page 98 of Connolly's Greece and Rome at War, with a flat ring added inside that is pierced with holes for stitching in the lining.

The evidence to support such a claim is a helmet from the second cen tury BCE found in Negau, Austria (Ellis Davidson 57).
The runic inscription combines the two written systems and reads: "Harigasti teiwai [to the god Harigast or Teiwaz]" (Thorsson 8).
Runes were used to endow personal items (weapons, helmets, combs, broaches, etc...) with magical properties, protect the dead with grave/memorial stones, as wel l as to seek divine inspiration and counsel (Thorsson 14).
