I must say i agree there must have been a definete difference in status by wearing different equipment...
but has it been described somewhere in the sources? was there a rule for it?
these days, a lot of Centurii, auxiliarii, equiti, and archers etcetera wear hamata in re-enactment... but you also see the odd Miles gregarivs walking about in it...... are they all wrong?
or was the Roman legion less uniform as we like to hope... and was the only REAL distinction found in the equipment of the highest officers, namely the Hellenistic muscled cuirass............?
