However, to be frank it looks more like a Byzantine emperor witha Gepid or Lombard bodyguard.
If I was expecting to see Aetius, I would expect guards dressed in the best the Roman army could offer, not what essentially a barbarian warlord would wear. The outfit of the guards is much more 6th century than mid-5th century.
The pilleus could be a bit higher I think. The baldric seems 3rd century - you can do that for early 4th c., not for the mid-5th I think.
Thanks Robert!
