Beautiful sculpture of a carefully constructed piece of military parade dress:

Scale armor with midlength sleeves.

Short-sleeved coat of chain mail.

Pretorian? (civilian) tunic.

Another type of tunic.

On the SE face, an inscription (CIL 6.960) tells passers-by that the height of the column before them is the height of the hill that used to stand there. Trajan's Column is a virtual hill, as it were. . . .
