Ancient Warfare: Reader\'s questions Special?

[Caballo]

How about featuring lost articles, archeological items, and drawings?

For example, I've just read the excellent book on Pompeii by Mary Beard, and she talks about colours that were found on statues that then faded- for example one of a citizen in a lorica musculata with a white tunic with a yellow band and a red cloak. Similarly, she features drawings done in the 19th century of Roman frescoes that have now faded.

The Lost Column of Arcadius in Constantinople would be another example. Another would be the Roman helmets destroyed by Allied bombing in WW2. etc etc

This would pull together otherwise unfindable drawings and photographs of items that were found nowhere else. And be very poignant as well.
