Cohort of British Auxiliaries on Hadrian\'s Wall
#21
Hello Matt

Quote:Where is this reference of Justinian's guards?

The mosaics in Ravenna Italy. More exactly in the Basilica St. Vitale. One Guard is in a decorated red tunic another in a decorated green tunic with highly decorated shields. I am sure someone somewhere must have an image available?
