I took this picture two years ago in Kopenhagen, Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek.
As I remember, the inscription was lost and there was no description of finding place or date.
It seems to show a vexillarius of the mid to late 2nd Century (hair and beard).
I took the foto because of the interesting way this man is wearing his sagum. Never seen that before!
Puzzling is broad shoulder-belt. Neither sword nor shield (on back) is depicted. Perhaps this belt is used to hold the folds of the sagum?
