New CLASSIS-soldier (!!) tombstone discovered in Italy
#39
Mike Bishop wrote :"Again, this relief can be explained by all the means that have been suggested so far, but it can equally be interpreted as a mail shirt (remember what Robinson said about depictions of these?) worn over scalloped lappets and pteryges."

Except that there appears to be a rather well defined belly button?

(And certainly, while my belly is sadly rather too prominent ( Sad ) when I wear mail, my navel remains invisible)

Regards,

Britannicus
