    • I'm going to put this label up to be more transparent. I requested this image based on the previous images.    I'm not happy with how the pants were designed.  
    • http://byzantinemilitary.blogspot.com/2024/12/roman-camel-cavalry.html?m=1 My intention was only to show Arab clothing used by some Palmyrene units; it's complicated to show a single look for the troops. The most outstanding and different units in the Palmyra army that distinguish them from other civs are the camel riders. "Dromedarii were camel-riding auxiliary forces recruited in the desert provinces of the late Roman Empire in Roman Syria". "A 1000-strong dromedarius unit, the ala I Ulpia Dromedariorum milliaria, was established by Trajan in Syria. A small number of dromedarii is recorded as part of the Cohors XX Palmyrenorum based in Dura-Europos in Roman Syria".
    • The original uses javelins, but the descriptions mention multiple weapons: swords, spears, javelins, and arrows. I am using AI to refer to units that have hardly any illustrations. https://www.historiascripta.org/classical-antiquity/dromedarii-camel-riders-in-the-roman-army/ "Palmyra / Tadmor, Homs governorate, Syria: Palmyra Museum. Caravan camel guarded by men armed with spear and sword".
    • That theory turned out to be wrong, as I was able to confirm with "openssl client" that providing a self-signed and therefore invalid certificate to the lobby server works just fine. ejabberd in our configuration does just ignore any client certificate provided. Disabling requesting client certificates would be a workaround, but doesn't appear to be possible with ejabberd. Seems like SChannel is doing something weird, as my understanding is that the client code terminates the connection after the TLS connection got established, not ejabberd. The best way forward is probably somebody debugging this who's running Windows.
    • I believe that first image, used as reference for the ai, is carrying javelins? I at least think it's javelins, as the rider seems to be pulling it out of a quiver? It looks like it might be a large/long quiver but I'd need to find the original image to check.
