greetings Jasper
I have a question regarding
[url:l4je8szz]http://www.romanarmy.com/cms/component/option,com_imagebase/task,view/cid,166/Itemid,94/[/url]
is described as Ulpius Tertius from Mike Bishops RME
whereas M.Junkelmann in Die Reiter Roms and K Dixon in The Roman Cavalry say its Adiutor of Ala I Cannanefatium
anf ive finally found an illustration of the whole stone
[url:l4je8szz]http://home.scarlet.be/~ijpelaan/Kennemerland/Cann-Archeologisch.html#tipa[/url]
unfortunately not a photo of the original
although Ive got a scanned image of a photo - will try to see where I got it from!! and it is Adiutor

Problem solved! There are two tombstones where the images are really eachother's spitting image. The one difference is that on Adiutor's stone, the front legs of the horse are damaged, while on the one of Ulpius Tertius the horse is whole. The mixup is in RME1&2, where the image of Adiutor is drawn, but it's called Ulpius Tertius.
Ulpius Tertius is depicted - by photo - in N.Benseddik, Les Troupes

Recently new photos have been added to the tombstone database. Some are for completely new additions (at Sevastopol, thanks to Caius Fabius!), in other cases (Worms especially), new photos have replaced older ones.
