Strange Episemon
#1
I have one question and hope someone can help me here.

I saw one Episemon, but i don´t know the motive on the shield. Maybe one of you guys knows and can explain me. Thank you very much and kindly regards!

It may be a chariot without the wheels. Chariot wheels alone and chariot tubes alone were common emblems. I admit this one is a somewhat odd tube... But can't think what else it could be.

Thanks for helping me with your suggestion and the link to the discussion. A chariot could be very likely - I´m quite convinced with this interpretation. You guys helped me a lot. Tongue D idea:
