Quote:HOWEVER, I do have one point of contention/interest to note. There is a large image of a segmentata that looks almost as if it had been created with direct reference to Trajan's Column, and then aged to look period. Although I don't have the book and cannot quote directly atm, I could have sworn that the caption stated, or at least directly inferred, that this exact segmentata was discovered in the Corbridge Hoard...need I say more?I am afraid that you are not mistaken. The caption states specifically that it comes from Corbridge and, further, that it is the most famous example of its type. It is things like that that make one doubt the scholarship of the whole enterprise.
Hopefully, I was just browsing too quickly and I am very mistaken about what the caption stated.
