Did the Romans have parade armour?

[caiusbeerquitius]

Rather than my continuing to defend the idea that martial societies tend to behave similarly, I think that the view that the Romans were unique in not behaving like other societies in this regard is a more glaringly daring hypothesis in need of defence.

Nice trick. Burden of proof, I would say.
You say: "Such and such societies behave so-and-so and/or in such-and-such patterns".
Proove it, if you want others to believe it.

The behaviour of the individual may not be representative of the society he or she belongs to, there is no problem with this as I was talking about societies not individuals as such.

Well, yes. Then one first would have to find out, how homogenous such societies were, and where and how they were following certain behaviours. Very complicated for Antiquity.

human beings are human beings.

Well, from an evolutionary perspective this is not correct. And from a culturally perspective either. Or are those, who do behave differently no humans?
