The image, even 'mirrored' certainly would not match the Hatzopoulos/Juhel one.Look how the rim comes well above the shoulder...over the neck and almost to the jaw-line. It also protrudes well behind the figure ( though one might argue obscured by billowing cloak on Hatzupolous/Juhel figure)
Different weaponry appears as decoration on the remaining parts of the sarcophagus - a different helmet, armour, and definite aspides.....
Quote:And, were we to render that image the other way around, the shield would perfectly fit the "left arm" of the Hatzopoulos / Juhel fig.10!...not sure what you mean. The circular shield of Ruben's post has neither rim ( so cannot positively be identified as 'aspis'), nor a central 'spina'/barleycorn umbo ( so cannot be positively identified as 'celtic' type). It could be either, with either rim or 'spina/umbo' painted on.....
