Soldiers, milites, were not allowed to wear armor while in the city of Rome. I assume that similiar rules applied to other urbes. They would be recognized however by three items of apparel, their distinctive boots, for the 1st centuries BC and AD, caligae, the scarf, the focale, and by their belt with the apron, the balteus. Military tunics were also shorter than those of civilians.

Conscribe te militem in legionibus, vide mundum, inveni terras externas, cognosce miros peregrinos, eviscera eos.
