Posts/forts on the Rhine

Graham, Hans and Uwe

Thanks all for the info. Uwe, thanks especially for the website.

So it seems that we have easterners there, but not a majority.

The rhineland stelae seem to indicate a very heavy stylistic influence.

I think that the snappy tunic pleats are just a stylization of the more natural drapery we see on examples form the Puteoli relief. This looks a lot like Palmyrene and other stuff. Why the heavy (presumed) eastern influence if the troops are predominantly Italian?

Are most of these stelae Auxilliaries?
