Why Sasanids or Parthians?
They wear Roman style tight leggings and the swords are shortish in Roman style rather than the longer Sasanid ones. The shields could easily be poor depictions of Roman oval shields and long sleeved mail is depicted elsewhere for Romans but the armour is not similar to depictions of Parthians or Sasanids.
IMO there are quite a few reasons why they could be Roman.
