manica on display in Bonn, Germany

[noxia]

Hello,
just to let you know: If anyone is near the LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn this month, he/she could see a manica made out of copper alloy from the auxiliary camp Till-Steincheshof.

Have a look here:

If anyone is going, i would appreciate some good pictures :mrgreen:

Nice! Thanks!

That's very interesting - thank you!

It may well be me, but the scale on the manica in the ground and the drawing beside it are different although they appear to be traditionally shown? I'm assuming they are both in centimetres and although I appreciate the drawing is of the manica parts seperated out, the scale looks odd to me.

And as Peronis and I were discussing offline today, the first attested manica from an auxilary fort!

So you're counting Carlisle as legionary, then? :wink:
