Quote:Nope, this isn't from Pergamon - as mentioned, there is a similar chamfron from the Pergamene weapons reliefs, but that one features feathers. This is from the Campadoglio trophy monument, which dates to around 90 BC (if I recall correctly, and this is all off the top of my head) and was thought to have been set up by Sulla to commemorate the capture of Jugurtha.
Are there any publications about this monument (preferably in English) that explain its features? I would be interested in reading what the general consensus was on the meaning of its different parts, etc. The panel with the three T-and-Y cuirasses is of particular interest to me. Thanks.
