I think I know what you mean. (Please correct me if I’m wrong!)
Been thinking about that and reluctantly deceided to give the designer the benefit of the doubt and hope that the illustration is meant to depict a torn dress, not a “provocative” one.
Doesn’t solve the problems of
a) the illustrations for slaves and concubines
b) the question why there should be different pictograms in the first place
though.
I get that in a chart you need to be able to tell different, let’s say properties, apart, but in this case there should be a less problematic way.
(What’s missing in the thread at this point is a military historian pointing out that the soldier’s suit of armor is wrong for the period.)
