You are contradicting yourself:

"Roman art is highly anachronistic"
"then were "spiced up" with Roman items

Please explain where these two statements contradict each other.

Here you will agree that we have to consider other possibilities too.

What? Silver rings? Gold rings? Yes, it could be anything. But it is impossible to find out what it was on base of the depiction.

Going to the point.
How you explain sleeves on musculatas?

I do not. I am not the one making claims here. You made the proposals, so you have to prove your point. (https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/burden-of-proof). So far you were not able to do so. Also your question already includes unproven assumptions. So far I have not seen a single musculata with sleeves. Show me only one, I will immediately accept that they existed. Also, one would first have to prove that depictions of "musculatas" with sleeves are the cause of a presumed actual existence of musculatas with sleeves.

The argument is not circular. Denaing the existance of such items, does not make a better argument than triying to understand.

Of course it is circular. You have the idea that armor of such-and-such a type existed fro you looking at historical depictions(sources), and under this premise you make an eclectic search among the available sources by mostly disregarding their context, and only regarding the context when it helps your hypothesis(https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/the-texas-sharpshooter). You then produce "evidence" to support your assumption/ idea. That is circular, and it also is teleological, which is an absolute no-go in source interpretation (https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/begging-the-question). But that´s not even the circular argument I was referring to. Never mind.
