You can see in the picture a man walking with a dog, look at his armor. seen it anywhere else? it looks like Roman armor imo.
Why is there romans in the game? i whould be happy if a dev answered me if it was a roman traveller or only armor that looks roman.

He's an Imperial guard.

really? oh cool. but still it looks like roman armor.

@Danger Dan
:/ now i do remember in morrowind they had that armor. thnx

The Imperial race are Romani in nature.

Imperial guards in morrowind had more roman looking armor.

The Imperial race was influenced by the Romans.

Here's one from Morrowind.

ooh that does answer my questions.

There's a vague resemblence to Roman Lorica Segmentata body armour, but why is that a problem? The imperial race is vaguely based upon the Roman Empire if I remember correctly.

Its no problem. i love it :thumbsup:

This.

Now that I think of it, yeah, there are many similarities with the Romans and the Imperials.

He is a part of the Imperial canine unit :biggrin:

Yep for sure an Imperial Guard. Love the new armor :thubmsup:

"Romani" is totally the wrong word.

He is probably a guard but who knows maybe a quest giver or a mercenary probably guard tho. HAHA
