I have two photos from the Column of Marcus Aurelius that show possible depictions of Praetorian rankers. If I'm right then that would help explain why they're carrying old-fashioned Republican scuta.

Marcus Column 1, Marcus Column 2


Quote:People keep talking about depictions of Praetorians wearing Attic helmets, but all I've seen is the Louvre relief which shows several OFFICERS wearing Attic helmets. (Hmm, though I'd have to look again to be sure one of the rear-rankers might possibly be more grunt-like!)
