I've chosen a scene from the Vatican MS of the Vergilius Romanus (Vergil MSS Vat. lat. 3867= Romanus), but I'm not yet sure which one.<br>
Either this one:<br>
<img src="http://www.vortigernstudies.org.uk/vergilcave.jpg" style="border:0;"/><br>
Aeneas and Dido in cave. Aeneid 4.160ff.<br>
<br>
Or this one:<br>
<img src="http://www.vortigernstudies.org.uk/vergil100v.jpg" style="border:0;"/><br>
Convivium of Dido. Aeneid 4.77.<br>
<br>
Which one do you think I should chose? The upper is more 'military', but the bottom one may fit better on a shield. Both are assumed to have been from a possibly 5th-c. British MS, according to the historian/archaeologist Ken Dark.<br>
