Hello,
As I can see on late roman military tunics from Piazza Armerina mosaics, the ornaments depicted here are corresponding to types of the armours. For example this one:

His tunic is clearly showing shoulderguard plates from old lorica segmentata.
There are other figures with typical shoulderparts of lorica musculata.
So I would like to know your opinion about this kind of continuation of Lorica segmentata in ornaments.
Thanks
