Quote:they have already committed themselves to saying it is from "clothing" (I think it was also mentioned in the same breath as "ceremonial, of high status" etc etc) which I cannot agree with. That was from a member of the museum staff, too!I can only tell you what the staff at Caerleon told me when I was there at the end of September and they seemed quite happy with the chamfron idea. Bear in mind the pieces are in Cardiff, and Caerleon to Cardiff is like Earth to Betelgeuse for the rest of us ;-)
