The written description described "brilliant gold", and the paint in the image does appear quite metallic looking. I haven't done any research on Roman paints, so I am wondering, did they have metallic gold paints? I sill can't decide on how best to make the fringe, other than not modern upholstery fringe. On the sculptural evidence I have seen of fringe, either on banners, or pterges, they just look thicker than what you would get by simply fraying the fabric.
