Women should be seen and not noticed!

Rome, Italy
It seems that Roman women have been sneakily disguising themselves as men for two thousand years, hidden high on Trajan’s Column, in the centre of Rome itself!
Previously thought to have had no contact with the military whatsoever, including processional victories, now it seems women did indeed get involved in ceremonies and celebrations, and even lived with their military husbands at forts and compounds.
At least six women and / or girls have been clearly established on Trajan’s column. Hiding in plain sight, the long hair is more than obvious. Having been to Trajan’s Column it almost seems ludicrous that this has been missed. Although it would be very difficult to spot looking from the ground, a life-size replica of the column has existed since 1864, for the sole purpose of study, and scans of the column provide access to the entire story on a computer.
So, how were these women missed? Well, it has to be a simple case of pre-conceived ideas. For me this opens up a whole avenue in the problem with human consciousness when considering ancient history, but you’ll be glad to know that this time I’m not going to babble on about it.
