Quote:Beautiful artwork!
The soldiers would have probably carried their pila over the shoulder the same as the upright of the furca pole, rather than carry them in the manner you have illustrated. I believe this is how it is depicted on Trajan's Column.
Not to nitpick Adrian, but there would have been times where a legionary had various implements in his hand. Perhaps this guy was carrying someone else's pilum, en route to where his own scutum and pila were resting.

His waist seems very wide! Could you give him more of a waist?

With a tunic, subarmalis and possibly fascia ventralis, this type of 'waist' is normal with hamata. Mine used to do it, and I'm not overweight.
His belts are also hung low on the hips which could add to the lack of waist.

Hello
Thanks to everybody.
The waist line reflects all the above (what’s wear underneath and the belts also).
