Dr Ludwig Lindenschmidt and the Mainz monument

[mcbishop]

Sorry, doesn't help. Some stele also show angular lightning bolts and wavy lightning bolts.

I need a copy of Lindenschmidt's drawing or painting.

This is the woodcut from Lindenschmit's 1882 Tracht und Bewaffnung (which differs from the illustration above, as you will see).

For those who are interested (probably very few) I have been working on an illustrated translation and annotated commentary of L's book (which is, in my opinion, the best book ever written on Roman military equipment). At the very least this will result in a digital edition of the German text available on the web soon as a PDF.
