Did the Romans have parade armour?

[Dan Howard]

I mean doesn't it make perfect logic that soldiers of high ranking who could afford and were let's say eligible because of their status, would wear such decorative musculata?

Of course it is. What is illogical is the assumption that these highly decorated armours were not worn in battle. Nathan's post is convincing. Why assume that these decorated armours were Roman "parade armours" when we already know that a lot of it was worn in battle and there is no actual evidence for parade armour? Is there any evidence for parade armour in any other culture during this time period that the Romans could have emulated?
