Your best bet for visuals is picking up a copy of Boris Rankov's Osprey volume on the Praetorians.<br>
<br>
Praetorians didn't wear purple or black a la "Gladiator," we can be sure, so stick to white or red, the most typically attested legionary colors.<br>
<br>
Main motifs in shield and armour decorations were stars-and-moon, and everyone's favorite: scorpions! Again, you can see examples in Rankov.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
