Dear All,
I have just to amend the fact that the Season mosaics is in Argo and not in Corinth museum. I had not time to rectify it before that Graham sent my mail.
As anticipated by him, we are preparing a source book. For source book I mean the showing of all the connexions between archaeology, art and literary sources.
About the Hun, believe me, they were worst than the type realized by Graham. Sinesius, Ammianus and Priscus let us clear description. Most interesting is the work of Sidonius about the Huns ravaging the Gauls after the time of Attila.
The "cicala" fibula, as the most part of the Equipment of the Hun is from Gaulish graves.
I hope in the future to have the time to prepare a book about the Aetius and Aegidius army, because of the many ethnies involved. What is one of the most interesting characters of the Late Western Roman Army is the incredible puzzling of people, using Romano-Germanic-Steppe equipment at the same time.
Best
