I have to agree with King of Atlantis when he says that he does not like it. It LOOKS like a run-over light auxilia, or something. However, I would expect that by the time of the the barbarian invasions the west roman army would have lower quality non-golden imperial age standard equipment.Originally Posted by King of Atlantis
Remember that one of the reasons why the legions kept marching on Rome and deposing emperors favoring their commander was that they did not get enough money and support. By the time of the late empire, Rome would not be economically able to support all those shiny lorica segmentata clad legionnaires (they kept emmiting more money, which only made things worse because of inflation). So, all you get for an elite unit is this half-caste lame excuse for a leggionaire.
Hope that brought a little sobriety to this quickly escalating thread ;)
