Thanks all, much appreciated.
Around my helmet is a tablet woven pattern, with a matching one on my spear ( not in picture ). It's a conjectural interpretation of the helmet and spear decoration shown in some De Rebus Bellicis illustrations and also in the Dura clibanarius graffiti on the helmet. I've interpreted it as a 360 degree identification mark that would work if the shield is not visible.
And no, I haven't got the pictures up on my wall. Not yet anyway.....
