To my knowledge, there hasn't been any evidence of standard bearers, or centurions for that matter, wearing anything but hamata or squamata. Does this mean that when a soldier was promoted to this rank, that they went down to the legion quartermaster, exchanged their lorica segmentata, and received less protective mail or scale? Isn't this logistically making more work? Wouldn't you want these guys as protected as possible? Or was this some kind of tradition?<br>
