Looks pretty cool. Probably wearing some sort of Lamellar or Scale Klivanion, classicized as muscle armor, as Urselius mentioned.

I still prefer my Late Romans. Tongue

Evan, why would the artist depict the soldier as wearing a muscle cuirasse when he could just as easily depicted him wearing those armours you mentioned, it just does not make any sense I'm afraid.

The double headed axes are similar to those depicted in the Notitia, so why the accuracy with the axes and not the armour, again it makes no sense.
