Thinking about the stelae from the Rhineland and their unique tunic pleats and I need a few questions answered.
Who were these guys? Where are they coming from? Are they Italians or are they from somewhere else?
What were the major deployments on the Rhine in the first century and when did they happen?
Basically I'm wondering if we have lots of Eastern mediterranean troops moved to Germany. If so, it would explain a lot about the artwork we are seeing.
Thanks.
