"Marcus Caelius, killed at the Battle of Teutoburger Wald, 9 AD, Lorica musculata"
Which has shoulder extensions to protect the upper arms similar to the Marcus Favonius Facilis a Centurion from Colchester.
Clearly such an extension cannot be plate so cannot represent musculata, mail is a more likely option assuming the artist was trying to be specific.
"Titus Calidius Severus, around I century, Lorica squamata"
I wouldn't ague with that but it is a very simple representation if it is.
"Sertorius Festus, around I century, Lorica squamata"
For this you need to look at a much closer picture:
The quality of the monument is really high and the torso is evident.
About Sertorius Festus, that is a plumata is an unsupported hypothesis, instead it is identical to another armor classified as scaled:
This is coming from a Verona museum.
Other examples?
