    He's got those "pinion" thingys at the shoulders, and those were Officers Only weren't they ? And the kinky-looking thing hanging over them privates only came to use during the Principate IIRC.

    I'm betting on either late-period infantry officer, or one of the late-period units that have since then gotten reskinned.

    there was big and good discussion of this when EB 1.0 came out. I "believe" it was explained that yes the heads were indeed a lil' out of proportion which is what made them look big. I "believe" a new model will be introduced but... I don't know
