Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression

I did wonder about the scouting nature of auxilaries, if they ever preferred greens and blacks and duller colours than reds, yellows and vivid blues? Or is that a modern viewpoint? (And another, separate thread!)

this is almost certain a very modern point of view. I recall certain British units were still fighting in red uniforms at the start of W.W. I.
