Travis,
Oh, there was no visible helmet on the statue and I should have realized it. :oops:
A really strange feature that neck flap... I had never noticed anything like that!
hock:
The scabbard is interesting because it has the slider placed by the inside, while it is supposed to be always placed in sight, at the 'outer' side.
Theo,
The Venice Tetrarchs were originally two pairs and each pair was attached to a column, placed high, resting on a bracket.
The smaller and less elaborated pair at the Vatican are still attached to its column but there is only one pair preserved, AFAIK, and, therefore we cannot know for sure if there was another pair (very probable) or if it was chiselled by a different hand. 8)

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
