"Linothoraxes" in the army of Aetius?
#1
I never noticed this before:

Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, Arch and Nave Mosaics, completed 429-431 AD

Thoughts? Interpretations?

Could they be Lamellar Cuirasses?

The presence of the Phrygian helmets in the second image makes me want to think its a classicization, though. Many of the helmets are "Greek" style.
