There is no evidence that the Medieval Nürnberg was founded during the Roman period. Nevertheless, it has been included into the ROMIT catalogue, due to the presence of the Germanische Nationalmuseum, Germany's largest museum of cultural history. The permanent exhibition spans the German-speaking world from the past to the present. 1,3 millions objects, belonging to art and cultural history from the Palaeolithic period until today, are displayed on an area of 25.000 square metres.

In addition to the Museum’s main collection, in the pre- and proto-history sections, displayed objects testify the great migrations of German people. One of the most important piece is the Domagnano Treasure coming from the Republic of S. Marino. It includes the famous eagle shaped fibula. This jewel belonged to a highly courted lady in the exclusive circle of Theodoric Emperor, who reigned in the nearby Ravenna. The jewel holds a Byzantine style around 500 A.D.

One of the museums’ rooms is dedicated to the archaeology of the Raetia and Germania Roman provinces, as well as to German adjacent territories which were not occupied by Romans. Among five roman helmets the most impressive is the one being part of a parade armour found in Theilenhofen (near Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen, second half of II century) and the gold and silver plated helmet from Pfersee, near Augusta (IV  century).

The parade helmet was found together with an infantry helmet  with inscription (: Turma HETERCLIANA ATTONIS - Turma ATAVLVANI / Flavi FLAVIANI - ALIQA / NDICOHOtis/III BRA / CARAVgustanorum - Turma NONI. Before the discovery these objects were only known from fragments and bas-relief representations.

The parade helmet is the only example which is entirely reconstructible. 

The Pferesee gold helmet was discovered in the gravel of the Wertach riverbed, stuck into an almost identical helmet. The crest is decorated with Christian motifs, i.e. stylised bunches of grapes. Generally this kind of helmet was worn exclusively by knights and officers belonging to the elite (of equites stablesiani) in the late roman period.

Nine helmets of this kind were discovered underwater in extra-imperial territories. They probably are votive offerings. Further twenty helmets were found abandoned in the scrap iron of the Intercisa Castle, in Hungarian.
