Profile of a mid 5th century Roman soldier.

And adding on Gothic fashion, Sidonius again, describing a Gothic prince and his retinue. Whilst this is not "line of battle" garb, as in all armies, soldiers spend only a tiny fraction of their time actually in battle.

Sure, no disagreement here
My earlier objection resulted from your combination of two citations for Romans in battle equipment and on citation for Goths without note that it is non-combat dress, creating the impression it were 'Gothic' battle equipement.

Sidonius is indeed a very good source due to his detailed accounts. Toward the Goths however he had, let's say, mixed feelings.
