couldn't these men on the left be infantry centuriones or higher rankers wearing <strong>metal</strong> cuirasses with the extended abdomen? I think it was the intention of the stone-cutters client to show the difference between infantry equipment on the left and cavalry's on the right. I can't recognize why it should be leather armour.<br>

Aquilius,<br>
<br>
the second example will come, I hope I find it again ...<br>
<br>
But in the meantime I looked again on the Ahenobarbus relief. What is the civilian right to the tribune doing, is he also saluting - what do You think? I have only this little section and cannot interprete this gestus.<br>
