Well, in fact I couldn't afford the griffins and palmettes...<br>
<br>
An interesting question, though: Our emperor/god seems to have made do only with two rows of the rounded straps. Those straps wear currently metal fittings (lion or Medusa heads, etc) attached to them and a transverse feature that some people interpretate as hinges. They say that the whole strap is covered with embossed metal sheet and, thus, rendered rigid in a way that a hinge is needed to allow some freedom of movements to the wearer. I've bee only able to examinate closely a apir of statues and the transverse feature looked on them more like a decorative astragale.<br>
Opinions? More detailed pics?<br>

Goffredo,<br>
<br>
thank You very much for sharing this exciting site about Germanicus' statue with us. Up to now I did not know it. But I knew a tin figurine from 'Soldiers' company and I always wondered about its model. Now it is clear and one can even see how phantastic the modellist of 'Soldiers' worked:<br>
