That is a lot of food for thought... indeed.
If I was to totally narrow it down, the Optio would be between 25-50 AD And the Officer/Praetorian would definitely be fro 58 to 64 AD.
I know that I have chosen to difficult impressions. Not a lot is known about the Optio... and the only real evidences for the Officer/Praetorian is found in art and sculpture. Two difficult impressions because there would be a lot of assumptions to be made and that doesn't go over well with anyone who desires to be historically accurate.
I know that both impressions have stigmas and that you can make a lot of friends or a lot of enemies by the way you portray them. Like walking on thin ice.
I appreciate your input. So to be clear... the Balteus for the Optio 25-50 AD. Concentric plates are acceptable?
