Show me a jockey with over-developed thighs.... Methinks John Wayne has been thought of.

...the double belt with apron is probably conclusive ( though perhaps, like Tiberius Claudius Maximus, the captor of Decebalus, he could have served as both infantryman and cavalryman, so we can't entirely rule out the good Doctor's hypothesis).....but combined with your other point, I'm convinced ! The Herculaneum soldier was probably not a cavalryman.
