Wow.
Well the context places them with the fabri, so that would indicate craftsmen wouldn't it?
Actually, there is a reference somewhere about the triumph of Sept. Severus. In the triumph there are individuals carrying plaques depicting the victories of the campaign, and I believe that THEY are referred to as 'pictores'. These narrative scenes are largely believed to the source for the images on the Arch of Sept. Severus.
but that is an odd case.
hmmm.
