traits of a Roman legionary
#3
would he still have or use his caligae? every bit of kit was his. caligae are pretty comfortable so would they be used until they were worn out?

i doubt you would see much physical differance ( aside from be physical fit. ) not like say the longbowman from middleages when they have found remains having differing in armbones. there is not much known though how noticable it would have been. legionaries not only foung with thier weapons they were also builders so there was also physical labour. I am sure this would also help keep a person fairly similar in appearance.
