Roman shield found in Armenia???

[Robert Vermaat]

I like Van cats very much, their eyes especially, but no Roman artwork has ever show a cat that can be identified as especially a Van cat. Van cats, angoras and eastern mediterranean cats show much that makes them similar. Until we find Roman imagery of swimming cats, or cats with different coloured eyes, I say the claim is silly.

I love this one:

It appears that one Roman legion adopted the image as their battle standard as it is found on a Roman shield, dated AD 75-387, which is now found in the Louver Museum, Paris.

1 - Never seen a Roman battle standard with a cat on it.
2 - dated AD 75-387. What an idiot came up with that dating?? hock:
3 - Louver museum. Can't the even get the name of a world famous museum right? :wink:

I'd say, don't waste any energy on this. Only stupid people take this seriously - you won't convince them because they already believe this. Best leave the stupid to their ways and move on with more worthwhile things in life.
