Avete,
Can someone please tell me what era this famous relief panel dates to ? IIRC, it resides in the Louvre and shows a Roman fighting a Dacian.
So, it must date to Domitian's or Trajan's reign. Anyone know which it is ?
I'm interested in the squamata pattern of the Roman soldier. It has a squarish neck hole and no shoulder doubling. The plates seem to have a vertical dent as well. Presumably he's a regular legionary.
Thanks in advance.
