Quote:Dress down armour for show? I doubt it! I'd rather be in a fancy tunic myself! That's why they had them, as well as togas and nice cloaks. And even then, two issues arise in my mind. 1) Metal armour is still a LOT better looking, especially when it's buffed. 2) What soldier wants to be in any kind of armour if they have a choice between that and a tunic? Probably none.
Better looking to a 21st Century Canadian maybe. Show me a representation with a bendy scutum, parazonium and floppy helmet as well, and then I'll think it's definitely stylised.
