It's interesting to see early concept art for skyrim's imperial armors, they are a lot more "Skyrimy" and less Roman, having lots of fur, cloaks and many almost nordic decorations with dragons and stuff.
Also it would be beautiful if the Legion in Skyrim actually followed the pattern from the artwork:

In principle this seem like more minor variations, but kind of would give the Legion imo more character and be less like the "leather gang" of vanilla, but again probably behind the scope of the mod.
Regarding giving Tulius heavy bracers etc: Mh, I always considered him wearing complete light armour a personal choice, though it would make sense if he would wear more quality stuff then the standart leather boots and breacers, on the other hand I disike mods that make his stuff "to fancy" and at the end of the day he seems like a no-nonsense guy who prefers it practical.
Regarding the Penitus, I honestly don't get them fully. Why they are just wearing this slightly modified imperial light armour, when/if they serve as bodyguards for the emperor maybe they should wear more "emperor guardy" stuff? If they act as agents their armour is also kind of silly. Maybe more of a Beyond Skyrim Cyrodill territory, to flesh them out.
As for Carius' one, what would you thing of making it silver and blue/purple instead of gold and red ? It comes from TES III after all, and the legion theme was more blue than red back then. Of course, in this case Carius personal armor was actually red and gold if memory serves, so it really come back to sensitvity. Blue legion really strikes my nostalgia, personally.
Btw, as for items that I think could thematically sitck with the retexture project, I can thin of the Emperor Robes, the gilded wristguards and the amulet of the Elder Council. I personnally don't really care for the mesh of the first one, but would love to see your take on the other two.
Love your work anyway, and I can't wait to see what you do with penitus more no-nonsense verson of the armor.
I don't think I'm adding emperor's stuff in this one.
Care to explain your problem with vanilla penitus' armor btw?
Glad to hear that about Carius armor !
