Very nice!
Will look very good with correct color matching red tunic and shield.
(if the Roman Army wore other colors the helmet decorations would be a different color) :lol:

Nice stuff, Ade, well done!!!
What did you use for the coral? Real coral or some sort of substitute?

HI Adrian I was in Venice last year and my friend took me to Aquileia where I had a look at the original, however I've got to say it's just great to look at the complete finished article. Very good job indeed!!

Ade, I think you missed my question: did you use real coral or imitation coral?

Ebay!
I bought two sizes of dyed coral beads and ground them down to just below 'half-round'.
