Trajan´s Column questions?

[Theodosius the Great]

It would be more of a surprise if his kit did *not* look like the other depictions in public art.

Prepare to be surprised. At one point, the column shows Trajan wearing his lorica musculata without any shoulder harnesses.

Travis,

I think this may support your view that they were indeed made of leather and not metal.

What do you think ? Have you seen other occurances where the shoulder harnesses are absent ?
