Interpreting drawings. A modern example.
#1
Just reminded me the difficulty of understanding the drawings, even contemporary ones!....

T-shirt of a newspaper, promoting Veleia´s findings, with a contemporary drawing, based, I suppose, in any photo of the real late roman soldiers of Cohors Prima Gallica:

And now the "real" Cohors Prima Gallica:

cohors prima gallica

Find the seven differences.

Finish?
Now choose any tombstone, drawing, whatever you want and do the some...and you haven´t the real photo in a link...
Perhaps a bit off-topic. But interesting not?
