Your quote at the end is very eloquent Caius, however proving that it can be done, might work and could be effective, does not constitute proof that the Romans did it. All sides of the equation should be examined, I think on that we agree.<br>
It is possible that Roman metropolitan sculptors had real weapons and armaments available, it is also possible they were following a code, as was stated above, and it is definitely provable that ancient artists copied eachother.<br>
We tend to look at Roman sculptures as if they are photographs. If they only were... <p>Greets<br>
