JUST REVEALED: Red Cloak and Tunic of Augustus!
#12
Hello all<br>
<br>
I am by no means an expert on colour and its interpretation and use throughout time.<br>
<br>
However in a lot of ancient Mediterranean cultures Blue was often used as a paint when depicting bronze, gold or other 'yellow' metals. I have no source on this, I was told it by an art historian at a course I attended.<br>
<br>
So a lot of theblue for the aquila nd helmets on the cuirass might be painted blue but actually be bronze in colour, like Robs repaint shows.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps. <p>Graham Ashford
