Mostly the guy on the left has two features that really scream "wrong" on his hamata

First, his shoulder doublings are based on late hellenistic greek styles. Why they made that bizarre choice I will never know. Aside from that, the rig holding his phalerae is really a fantasy piece and doesn't look anything like a phalerae holder that I know of.

Y'know, with minimal effort, both of these could be made into really good hamata. Why go to the effort to make it wrong? The mind boggles.
