Thank you.
When looking at the Ahenobarbus relief I also have a question about the maille cape and clasp. Is the clasp a leather chord, and if so how would you assume it was attached? Sewn with thread or thong? Or some other hidden attachment? Osprey also stated that the shoulder maille had an outer covering of leather so that it could be painted. Is this a common belief? It looks like maille to me!

Let your warriors be your shield, and your horse be your saviour, for I will live to see another fight another day.
