Hi Section,<br>
I found a picture of this relief in another book, M.Clauss, Lexikon Lateinischer Militärischen Fachausdrücke (Stuttgart 1999), there it is said that the relief is from the 2nd century ad, no more information unfortunately.<br>
I do not know of any other (imperial) legion using trireme as its symbol, and it doesn't look like a corona navalis to me, that seems to have been depicted by to prows/rams facing eachother in oak leaves, besides, wouldn't a corona be higher up on a standard? And the corona navalis was extremely rare anyway.<br>
Are you suggesting it cannot be Fretensis, because of the Corona Muralis/Vallaris? Is it known which dona Leg.X.Fr.received during its career?<br>
