Guys, interpretating such a difficult phenomena as the "morale" of the armies in different phases of the roman empire from such a limited evidence we have (Ammianus etc.) is a bit silly. It would require a vast interdisciplinary approach to get a grip of the subject (including also political, social sciences and cultural studies). So it remains a matter of opinion / personal taste at this point. Late roman gear just looks superb :twisted: ....
