The auxilliaries did the bulk of the fighting in the Dacian campaign but that is not a subject worthy of propaganda monument. Where is your evidence that praetorians actually wore segmentata? Any texts telling us how they were equipped?Au contraire, I've seen more pics of mail on monuments than sementata, though most of the details have worn away, resulting in some to assume leather shirts.
Where's the evidence that they didn't?
