Hello,
For some reason even though I checked off to be notified of any replies, I did not get the last two posts. I too wondered if the hamata in that scalloped fashion was not for auxiliaries.....if I am understanding you point correctly.
Over the years however, I have begun to look at things differently. If auxiliaries wore something, who is to say the legionaries never wore any of the same equipment.
Yes, Trajan's column does have several issues. However, I would not dismiss it as quickly as many folks do......for reasons that would go off-topic .
