Another reflection on the Aux. on both Trajans and Marcus Aurelius column. The tunics (and Hamatas) seems small and tightfitting as do the pants. Is there any thought from you guys on that. Should we think of this too as artistic interpretations or is there any other pictures or archelogical evidence for a mor slim look than the rather wide and large tunics of the legionaries. On MA the artist is quite consistent on depicting guys in Segmentata with longer tunics and the T-shirt shaped hamatas of the cavallery and "Light" infantry with short sleeved tunics.
What do you think?
