Hi Conal
Not so. I have seen it published before. In fact there are several swastika motifs on either cloaks or tunics in both Roman Military Clothing 2 & 3 including the one from Piazza Armerina plus a colour reconstruction.

Quote:When i was at Piazza Aremina recently I noted that one mosaic of a late tunic had a swastika motief on the shoulder pannels. I hadn't seen this in any books or on line. I suppose there may be an element of censorship.
