You're right Aitor, it seems he's woken up in a hurry!<br>
Isn't his Pilleus Pannonicus a bit on the high side, too? One of the mistakes I think Southern&Dixon made was with the Pannonicus, too, which they described as a 'fez-type' piece of headgear, based on a mosaic where the sides were indeed a little slanted. But most representations in art which I've seen, including the one represented in the image below right, is that the Pannonicus had straight sides and a flat top.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
