Cleopatra mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: After Apollodorus tells Cleopatra the disturbing news from the city, of the frightened people and hundreds of notices, when Cleopatra adds, "Signed by Octavian...promising the Egyptian people peace," the overhead boom mic casts a shadow that moves up on the wall, at the upper right side of the screen.

Questions

Question: During Rex Harrison's entire performance as Julius Caesar his arms and legs are covered by garments underneath his military garb and robes, even while in Egypt. The other Romans as would be expected have bare legs and arms. Was Harrison suffering from some skin condition or was he too shy or embarrassed of his limbs to show them in the film?

Answer: The people of higher rank would usually have more or better armor so in his case that would probably be extra armor for his legs and arms.
