They probably wouldn't have looked noticeably different from their contemporaries

Such a shame the Macedonian dynasty died such a miserable death, they were awesome, trying to emulate the Companion cavalry of Alexander.

Didn't the Pope had soldiers in the 18th century ? And I'm not talking about an honor guard.

Kinda like this?

Those are soldiers of the Cevadoth Kingdom which is fantasy, they're based on 17th century England, not Rome

>>2808416
What does it matter? they look just like Roman soldiers.

>the Romans had zischagges, sabers, buff coats, articulated gauntlets, two piece steel corslets and muskets
What did you mean by this?

>>2808439
The helmets are pratically stolen from the Romans and the colour scheme is very similar.

They're not meant to be evocative of Romans, they're just a fantasy interpretation of 17th century infantry

They rather look like British Civil War horsemen without horses.

Swiss Guard. Not "Roman" soldiers, but also kind of, since the Vatican is in Rome.

No, the Ottomans weren't Roman. You might be able to call the Byzantines 'Roman', but they were mostly Greek and the culture was hardly Roman, especially by the waning days of the Empire anyways.

>Face and arm protection
That looks like cavalry to me
