The Vacheres warrior (see below- who may be an auxillary or a Gaulish prince- you pays your money and you makes your choice!) is currently on display in Rome. According to the write up, red paint was found on the belt and the sword hilt, and gilding on the fibula and torc. More evidence for colour in the 1st Century AD / BC!
