I had some shockingly sad news today, John Davis, artist and most stalwart and creative member of Legio II Augusta (UK) died today as a result of a car accident as he was travelling with two other members to the Leg II show at Chedworth. The other two members were hurt but not badly.
John's appearance was very Greco- Roman but more of an educated administrator than a soldier. He was nevertheless the leader of the auxiliaries; he did all of the wall paintings and decorative art work; he also did a quick change after the show and gave a very good talk and presentation as an architectus.
