Perhaps it would be good to specify WHICH sort of Romans could or could not have had parade armor. In the thead from which this is a spinoff, the discussion revolved around the musculata, a garment shown and known to be worn by higher officers.
The average John L. Miles would in all likelyhood have had to burnish his metals till they shown, when he took part in any parade. Not much chance every dogsbody lugging around a set of display armor when on campain, bad enough to have to carry a full kit.
