These extra heavy infantry are from the popular Imperial Roman period. They wear extra armor to further protect themselves from the deadly weapons of their enemies who are getting deadlier and deadlier as the Romans continue to expand their territories. The extras include flexible plates for their right arms, greaves and strengthening of the helmets.
When the emperor Trajan undertook his wars with Dacia early in the second century CE there is plenty of evidence that at least some of the troops wore extra protection, possibly as a defense against the Dacian Falx.
