The Emperor needs to keep his boots(which should be purple actually), keep something golden on torso, maybe plate with ornaments or "lammelar etchings" and the greco-roman pteruges(feathers) on shoulders and skirt. You know, plate with roman(byzantine) characteristics. Atm it looks just generic and as if they just threw away 2000 years of identity
But my take is IF the Byzantines have a comeback and grow strong again, like we do in games, the Romans would slowly revert and tidy up the mess. There are sources that show that there was work in the Byzantine Empire to remove the Pronoias, and that they seeked help from the west because of desperation.
If they bounced back I am sure their stronger income would soon be able to fund their own structure again, slowly de-latinize etc.
The plate armor might have been introduced, but then I would assume they would make it fit their ideal look somehow. It would be different, then again they would have to fight Turks, Latins and Arabs so their army would adapt to a very different environment.
Historical sources do mention the adoption of plate armour by the byzantine (romans), and though at first I had the same line of thought like you did, I did concede eventually that it was a very Roman thing to adopt something if it proved superior.
It is more likely historically that the Romans would, if they survived, would find their own way to do things, as they saw the Latin west as barbarian and the eastern muslims as saracens and turk infidels.
I am just pointing out the fact that Romans had their unique take on things, not trying to talk down anything.
Great mod btw!
