To prove a historical fact we need evidence that generally comes from one of three sources: archaeological, iconographical, or textual. In this case we have all three
1) Some physical examples have damage that is consistent with being hit with a weapon.
2) We have illustrations depicting horned helmets being worn in battle.
3) We have texts describing horned helmets being worn in battle.
