Going back to the link to the image from the Paeneste relief that Taivaansusi posted, I came across this better image, probably taken before it was obviously damaged. Has more intact soldiers:<br>

Not sure which other picture you mean Jim, but the Praeneste relief was very heavily restored. Which is the state this picture shows. <p>Greets<br>

Hmmm. My ongoing research indicates that I might have been too dismissive of the notion of separate marines. There may have been a separate rank - contents unknown - but the name could indicate they were the decksoldiers. <p>Greets<br>
