I have wrote in my post, the target skull was founded in Vindolanda and is from a bull/ox/cow.
I have'nt any credibility?

Dear Cezar, I remember reading about a bull/ox skull that was used as a target. So you are certainly correct!
What I meant to ask Maarten is if he is sure there was found a horse skull that was used as a target. I should have written it like this:
Are you sure there is a horse skull too, in adition to the bull skull?

Dear Cezar,
Could you find out some references for bear teeth in Roman military contexts?

Salvete,
I have one more question for you on this subject:
When the Romans would have tanned a bear skin, would they always have removed the skull?
Is it possible to tan a skin without removing the animal's skull? Or was this never done?
Valete,
