Legates were senators, and so their clothing would have reflected the style of the senatorial elite - the toga on formal occassions, with appropriate senatorial footwear.

Come to think about that, legates were supposed to officiate at animal sacrifices accompanying such occasions. Hence they were bound to wear the toga instead of military gear, just like the (presumed) legate from the Bridgeness distance slab.
