The column is a story that has to be told clearly to a general populace entirely visually. Perhaps the main concern for the sculptors was making sure that auxilia could be recognised with no room for confusion, and therefore the femenalia are emphasised in a way that there can be no mistake that they are not citizens? Where we see legionaries wearing femenalia they seem to be shown also wearing a traditional tunic.
