I have no idea of what the original colours on Trajan's column would have been but I am sure the Roxolani riders would have looked pretty good before the colours faded even with that bodysuit look. The full covering of rider and horse just doesn't fit right but I am sure the artists working on the column were working off oral descriptions. It is amazing how a bit of colour can liven up the image and the column would have looked great back then.
