A further comment. The Suppliant Soldiers do not appear in either the Freshfield drawings of the Arcadius Column or Menestrier's drawing of the reliefs on the Theodosius Column. However, while the Freshfield drawing shows both the column and the base, Menestrier does not illustrate the base. The photograph of the Suppliant Soldiers as exhibited does not show any appreciable curvature and I therefore suspect that the relief comes from the base of the Theodosius Column.
