There is no historical proof that the Roman soldiers wore red or any other color for that matter. Hollywood likes to dress their version of a Roman soldier in red because it makes for a more dramatic showing on the screen. In reality, though, red may have been worn and as for parades, white may have been worn. This is speculation, as nothing authentic has come down to us in writing and the paint has long since faded from the statuary of Roman soldiers.
