Trajan and Hadrian legionaries
#5
The belt changes significantly in Hadrian's reign, with openwork plates, often featuring Celtic styles decorating them. The apron is still used, but is shorter. The paenula is used, enclosed boots are becoming more popular, the weaponry is similar.

Things start changing ALOT in the reign of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius.
