Well, in fact I couldn't afford the griffins and palmettes...<br>
<br>
An interesting question, though: Our emperor/god seems to have made do only with two rows of the rounded straps. Those straps wear currently metal fittings (lion or Medusa heads, etc) attached to them and a transverse feature that some people interpretate as hinges. They say that the whole strap is covered with embossed metal sheet and, thus, rendered rigid in a way that a hinge is needed to allow some freedom of movements to the wearer. I've bee only able to examinate closely a apir of statues and the transverse feature looked on them more like a decorative astragale.<br>
Opinions? More detailed pics?<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.

thank You very much for sharing this exciting site about Germanicus' statue with us. Up to now I did not know it. But I knew a tin figurine from 'Soldiers' company and I always wondered about its model. Now it is clear and one can even see how phantastic the modellist of 'Soldiers' worked:<br>
