I stand corrected.

carabinier! not a roman!

Oh, no, that's what Napoleon looks like for Halloween.

Crested helmets are not an exclusively Roman feature.

lol, many cavalry regiments had that red crest in the French Army. It can be a Cuirassier or Carabineer, or Dragoon, I dunno, but it's certainly not a Roman dude

Cuirassiers did not have red crested helmets, its definately a Carbineer.

From left to right: Caribineer, Cuirassier, Dragoon

Dragoons like Carabinieers used to wear helmet with crests,French Carabinieers used to wear a white uniform,and in battle they used to wear a bronz cuirase and helmet.
Cuirassier's and Carabinieers where both the Two Crack Cavalry main units that Napoleon had at his service.

In a roundabout way its not a silly question; these crested metal helmets were part of the trend to revive classical ideas that was popular in the 18th Century, particularily in France. Vegetius was still widely read and of some influence. Maurice de Saxe was a great propent of reintroducing roman military ideas, not many of which caught on, though the idea of a Legion i.e. a moblie force of infantry, dragoons and artillery, did. It may be that the Neo-classical helmet he introduced for his dragoons was adopted by the rest of the French army's dragoons, and was then copied in style by the Cuirassiers and then later, Carabiniers. Because no wars were fought in the period they were in use, we often forget that most French infantry wore a classical helmet in the later 1760s to early 1770s.

These helmets are inspired by, rather than directly copied from classical examples.

The Neo-classical architecture of public buildings and great houses is the most apparent legacy of 18th-19th century Neo-classicism today

Extremely interesting Sir
allow me to say that the helmets with crests where not a french particularity,even Russian's life guard cuirrasiers and Austrians together with Bavarian had this tradition

The carabiniers were raised in 1691 by Louis XIV (The Sun King), with the men drafted from the better troopers of other line regiments. Rene Chartrand writes: "Commissions in the carabiniers could not be purchased, but were granted by the king to deserving and talented officers of modest means. ... In principle, carabiniers were to fight on foot when required, which they occasionally did, notably when they dismounted, stormed and captured the gates of Prague in 1741 .
From 1763 other line regiments were required to send few men to be instructed by the carabiniers and this led to the establisshment of the cavalry school at Saumur in 1768. The war record of the carabines was distinguished. They served in every campaign, displaying great bravery in victories such as Fontenoy or in defeats like Minden. One of the more spectacula feats by a carabinier occurred at the battle of Lawfeld, on 1 July 1747, when troopers Haube and Ibere captured the British cavalry's commanding general, Lord Ligonier." (ext.link)

The two regiments of carabiniers often formed the 1st Brigade of the 1st Heavy cavalry Division.
They were elite troops and received higher pay. During the Wagram Campaign in 1809, with the temporary absence of the Guard Cavalry, the 1st Carabiniers formed Napoleon's escort. The carabiniers often participated in reviews and parades in France and in conquered countries.
(Due to their eliteness, quality of horses, and above all their striking uniforms, the carabiniers are favorite cavalry troops for some wargamers and military buffs.)
