Yes and no. Dario?
Anyway this is the translation for that pic.
Pic.14: Marcus Aurelius relief in the Constantine Column (II cent. AD)
Thick wool quilt (cento) probably covered with leather. The regularity of the quilt section and of each sewing point (?), could suggest that it was colored as black-white chess-board, as reference to [c]entuculum equestrae (sic) quoactile album sibe niger (p.122,52) Laugger = p. 152,52 Giacchero).[/code]

Quote:Fig.14: Rilievo di Marco Aurelio nella colonna di Costantino (II secolo d.C)
Spessa trapunta di lana (cento) forse ricoperta da pelle. La sezione regolare della trapunta e delle singole aree di affrancatura, potrebbe suggerire che essa fosse colorata come una scacchiera bianca e nera, come il riferimento al [c]entuculum equestrae (sic) quoactile album sibe niger (p.122,52) Laugger = p. 152,52 Giacchero).
