Quote:Regarding the praetorians relief: I think its the wrong thing to put it as an example, it is known that praetorians wore exactly the same armor and equipment as the legions ( and also civil clothes)
The armor on the relief is parade armor.
Regarding Caesars Armor: It is said that Augustus took Alexanders armor for himself, when he was visiting Alexandria.
Why he shouldn't than kept Caesars armor?
I think it would also be symbolic if he would wear this armor, since a lot of his soldiers were veterans that served Caesar...
1)It is not known.It is only inconclusive theory based on inconclusive evidence.The same for that relief-nobody can say with certainity that it is only a parade armour and even idea of the parade armours used by the Roman army is doubtful.
2)Once again-Caesar definitely had many different suits of armour not just a single one armour only.
