Thank you both, Vortigern et Paulus.
I accept the dating based on the context of the webpage.
So, the Byzantines were, apparently, still in the habit of classicizing their artwork. (Or does anyone think the armor is contemporary ?) The column, IMO, is still useful as a resource since I see some consistency with how lamellar cuirasses were depicted in late Roman times.
Please let me know if you disagree.
