An almost identical convention occures in a relief of Marcus Aurelius where he speaks to soldiers. From right to left are marcus Aurelius, and three soldies, wearing in order, scale, segmentata, and a torso defence cut the same as the scale, but with a dot inside squares. If, or how many times the relief has been modified or restored, is not known to me. The head of M. Aurelius has been replaced in antiquity by someone elses head. All you guys who posted know which one I am talking about because you are quite knowlegable on the subject, and I would like you take on the M.Aurelius relief. I point this relief out to newer members. A plate of the relief can be found in The Army of the Caesars, Michael Grant, 1974.
