APOCALYPSE ANONYMOUS by
ATOSHI ANARKOMOTO
A fresco from the "House of Valerius Rufus" in Pompeii. This is a perfect example of how we know what Replican Legionary troops looked like (this individual is probably from a wealthy family due to the extravagant nature of his panoply, and the 'Lorica Musculata' torso armour, perhaps even 'Equite' being able to own and supply a horse) weapons, armour, shield, helmets and long 'ponytail' crests.
Perhaps most importantly, the heavy useage of red, pink, white and gold fringing on his clothing. His helmet is classic, brimmed Montefortino type, highly polished bronze. Brass greaves on both legs, long spear (Marian reforms with Pilum, long shield etc. not in use yet) His paludamentum (cloak/cape) is white and the crest and embroidery work also follows the light red and pink theme.
This is is at least very early 1st Century BC, most likely earlier. One of the men from XXI RAPAX that I posted earlier, had a near mirror image copy of this colour palette. Red and especially blue were the more expensive colours to produce, with Purple being only for the mega wealthy due to difficult manufacturing process involving boiling sea snails for over a month. Under the Principate, full clothing of purple was illegal except for the Emperor, to keep it exclusive.
