I'm curious.. how would the herodian troops have been equipped. Using surplus (perhaps old/out of date) roman equipment, or would most of it have been some sort of local style?
More likely Roman-style equipment locally produced, leading to some local distinctiveness, like the lack of shoulder-doubling on the mail of the soldier on the Sidon stele, or the use of the smaller thureos over the larger scutum.

Would that have been truly "Roman" style then, or simply holdover from the later Seleucid thorakitai/thureophoroi?
