It looks as if some detail of the shield could be seen on a better photo.

Mike Bishop Re: Aurelius Moucianus (legio II Parthica) - Gaius Julius Caesar - 12-29-2008 Are these 2 different people? The image in John's link is a lot moredetailed that the one in the image base.

Re: Aurelius Moucianus (legio II Parthica) - Gaius Julius Caesar - 12-30-2008 Thanks Duncan. The one John posted has interesting details on it, which is probably why he is needing better resolution pictures, guys. I for one would also be interested if there were more. |
