No hijacking, here! 8)
Ok, these are the changes I made:
I replaced shield, spear and sword (Spatha for Gladius) with parts from the Andrea Roman Cavalry- weapons set. The sword scabbard was lacking the rings which I made from thin copper wire. A fitting balteus made from lead foil was added. Legs and sagum were extended by inserting brass rods and re-sculpting the gaps. By making the legs a bit longer the figure appears less dwarfish. The serrated hem of the over-tunic was straightened. The only change to the head was the beard that I sculpted. The rest is done by painting.

A new base was made from scratch.
I bought the model about 10 years ago and did all the conversion work on it. The partly undercoated figure disappeared then in a box were I found it a few weeks ago. Remembering all the work I had done on it so far I decided to paint the little fellow. The final result is actually quite surprising.
