Common ethnicity was not at all irrelevant to Romepic.twitter.com/i3aSCuHnCc

The examples I love to use when I teach are second century mummy portraits from Egypt - Egyptians often freely mixing their own styles with dress that marks them as Roman citizens. E.g. https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=119830&partId=1&searchText=Fayum+mummy+portraits&page=1 …
The new identity (I am a Roman citizen) doesn't replace the old one (I am an Egyptian man), they layer over each other (I used a man for the example above, but female mummy portraits show the same trends). You can see this in many of the provinces - Egypt just has great art.

A lot of Roman elites could be very snobbish about this, complaining about foreign dress and such. But the endurance of the empire was predicated on its ability to get people who were *not* Roman to buy in and decide to *become* Roman - while remaining Greek/Egyptian/Gallic/etc

Yes, sarah bond should have been nuanced like this, instead she was as simplistic as Molyneaux. A scholar should aim higher than that

I think you may be missing the precision in the term 'auxiliaries,' meaning non-citizen troops drawn from the provinces (it doesn't cover citizen troops recruited in the provinces or non-citizen troops recruited in Italy). Her example is actually quite specific and spot on.
