Roman army in Egypt
#4
It would depend on the period in question,but,"locally"recruited soldiers,particularly those from outside the larger urban areas,could have influenced aspects of individual kit,however,it would probably been more or less confined to personal items unless that unit had been raised within the province/diocese,some equipment does seem to be peculiar to a given area.As for religious symbolism,the old gods continued to be worshipped(though in a somewhat graeco/roman form)until at least the 4th Century so,in a nutshell,at least some would look different but only up to a point.
