Question: How accurate is this recreation? I'd expect something historical for the lede. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:11, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And which century is it meant to represent? Uniforms changed a lot over the ages. --Tremonist (talk) 14:56, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – Lacks verifiable historical EV. Sca (talk) 15:16, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Might be worth comparing to File:Epitaph_des_Marcus_Caelius.JPG. --Pine^✉ 22:24, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Is a re-enactment photograph really the best choice for an article on a historical topic? Josh Milburn (talk) 15:51, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, a freely-licensed drawing based on academic sources would be more preferable, like those by Peter Connolly. I may draw and upload one some day. Brandmeister^talk 19:50, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Might have EV if placed in historical reenactment. No EV in the current articles. P. S. Burton (talk) 08:28, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
