Help identifying this Roman cavalryman

[Caballo]

Hi,

Can someone help me identify where this cavalryman is from? The picture is on page 20 of the new Osprey "Roman Auxiliary Cavalryman AD 14- 193".


One thing that interests me here is the pommel, which looks like the model for the Deepeeka spatha?

Thanks and regards,

Caballo

That's easy . He's a very famous, but unknown cavalryman from Cologne.

And this is a detail shot of the sword:

IIRC this tombstone is of an "Unidentified" soldier. Possibly the name is missing.

Until the imagebase is back online That's all I can offer at the moment!

Regards,

Has there been an announcement about AWOL imagebase

Well, there IS a message on the homepage of RA.com. Basically it is offline for technical reasons due to the host-move. However, just today I put the new version online for testing. Looks like there are some (major?) wrinkles to iron out, but it should be back online in a few weeks.

And I criticize my students for not reading the departmental noticeboard!!
Sorry!
Thanks for the info.

That's ok. FYI: the imagebase has been recast into a new form is online (here). The downside is that all records have to have their pictures reassigned and checked for garbage code introduced during the conversion.
5-10 minutes or so per record * some 230 records...

You'll see the records reappear one by one in the near future.
