Recreating a legionair beginning 3rd Century

Was that the case in the East?

Afaik, it applies across the board.

My understanding is that the change in styles has to do with demobilizing the legions (i.e. housing them in permanent stone forts) hence no need for the classic caligae marching boots. The legions became more static in nature.
