I'm fascinated with all these images portraying the would-be Roman military salute but, in this case, I must agree with John's view. Have you noticed the woman's right hand on the helmet's 'neckguard'?<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
