Quote:I'll have a drawing posted here soon, its the shield pattern of my unit, with Valentinian III displayed on the front.
EDIT: Here it is.
[attachment=7569]Valentiniani.jpg[/attachment]
Because I'm world's greatest detective(right after Batman),I predict that the shield may bear the inscription Placidi Valentinianici or something like that.This figure is generally well shaped,only Valentinian looks possibly too much soldier-like if one takes into consideration he was typical court Emperor who never actually seen real action.On the other hand this should be an army propaganda,So it does not necessarily reflect a real person.
