Just an added note...<br>
<br>
The illustration of the Gemma Tiberiana shown in the post above is, I believe, "flipped" from left to right vs. the actual cameo. Here, it appears as though Germanicus holds his shield on the right arm and "salutes" with his left-- I'm pretty sure it's the other way around on the actual gem. This is the only decent-sized illustration of the gem I could find on the web. Anyone know of an actual photo of it?<br>
