Yes, that's the image in the Myrmillo, and it looks like the one in the other photo of the artifacts, but it looks a lot bigger than that one. The padding would be enormous and the drawings and reliefs don't appear to show padding. Not to mention something that thick (albeit parade wear) would make your feet not move at all. Would that be considered a deliberate handicapping of the myrmillo if a shin guard?
