Armor of the Divine Triad : lamellar armor
This is the statue from Hatra I was talking about, of Assurbel, with Tyché at his feet. Also called the bearded Apollo, as it is very similar in subject matter to a statue of Nebo/Apollo from Hierapolis (whose inhabitants according to Macrobius were Assyrians). Sorry I could not find a better one.
Note the eclecticism of Levantine Hellenised culture: he is wearing what seems to be a lorica segmentata, with Hellenising pteruges and shoulder flaps, an Iranian torque, an Assyrian beard, and with Tyché with her mural crown at his feet.
