Uitis

[M. Demetrius]

As you know, sometimes centurion's hamata was decorated with a torc on the upper chest, which someone who didn't know that donata system might mistake for a twisted vine. Hard to know. I'm not arguing, it was just curiosity that prompted the question. I personally wouldn't spread that idea around too much, as it doesn't ring true. A vitis was just basically a stick of grapevine, afaik.
