the shirt and pants appears to be identical to US digital camo with the rank insignia worn at the front.
Dress uniform:[]
a greyish uniform
Ceremonial uniform:[]
a dark blue uniform with a closed circular collar and a red passepoil along the edge. worn with a dark blue visor cap with red hatband, white gloves and a lanyard (colour varies)
Rank Insignias:[]
rank insignias do not appear to be based on any particular country. Coriolanus, as a general, wear a single "winged sword in a circle" pip while cominius wear 4 of them. A soldier who appears to be the equivalent of a private or low ranking NCO wears a sort of chevron and horizontal stripe.
Volsce[]
Uniforms[]
the volsce wear a mixture of military and civilian clothing. While this means that no single volsce can be truly said to be wearing a "uniform", the general colour scheme (brown and olive green) gives them a certain sense of distinctiveness next to the army of Rome.
A number of them do wear a patch on their left arm featuring the volsce emblem: a snarling wolf
In term of rank insignia, Aufidius wears 3 chevrons pointing up over a star, all in red, on his shoulder straps and one of his lieutenant, only 3 chevrons.
