I have read about the Mythological story of the Gigantes however I have always been interested to know just why the Romans often depict the God Mars being supported by one of these Gigantes.
Here are pictures of a horse chamfron I made some time ago showing just what I refer to, I would like to know if anyone has any information on this subject.
