Here is a rather famous monument that illustrates what may be a vambrace... Were they issued? Probably not. Do you NEED one to accurately portray a Roman Legionary Aquilifer? I personally do not think so. Is this man a left-handed archer? I could not tell you and I doubt that anyone on this forum can. Is this jewelry? Maybe... but what I see is a monument to a soldier, esteemed enough to be immortalized, who is wearing a Nike tennis bracelet on his right wrist. Sorry, fellas couldn't feint the jab... LOL
