Novae, Bulgaria Bronze Segmentata?
#9
Quote:This makes no sense. Segmentata was peasant armour. Anyone with the wealth to have bronze armour would be wearing a musculata, not segmentata.

I'm not so sure it would be inconsistent for Roman art to show an important person wearing segmentata.
This statue shows Mars wearing segmentata, for example : http://www.romancoins.info/London.JPG
If segmentata is good enough for the god of War, why not an officer ?
