From right to left
A centurion in subarmalis, padding usually worn under armor; and wearing phalerae, medals for military service.
An aquilifer (legion standard-bearer) in a cavalry mask, wearing lorica hamata (chainmail)
A signifer (century standard-bearer) in lorica segmentata (plated armor) and wearing a wolf pelt.
A bugler in a bear pelt?
Ordinary Roman legionaries in lorica segmentata
Were the cavalry masks common?
Not sure, but wow they look fucking awesome.
Posted a genuine artifact from the first century AD if you'd like to see a well-preserved one instead of a modern replica!
