I have been a member of this fora for a while now, and had read many threads, but this one caught my imagination. Many nice drawings and a bravo to all. I noticed that Diocle frequents this fora too with the Magister. I am a great enthusiast of the late Roman army during the days of Aetius up to Belisarius. I am a developer for the mod Invasio Barbarorum II, and my user name on TWC is Reno Melitensis.
But I was wandering, we have many information about the appearance of the Comitatensis, Auxillia and Palatina Legions during this time in history, but having seen those Hunnic Bucellari that actually looked like Langobards ( as someome mentioned), how did nomadic Hunns in service of the greatest Roman general of his time, dressed and equipped themselves, a mixture of both cultures would be the best possible answer. A good restoration would solve this dilemma. It would be great to include a historical acurate Hunnic Bucellari for Aetius in IB II mods.
Cheers.
