1 Alfaro
2 Smihel
3 Delos
4 Smihel
5 Giubiasco
No. 2 from Smihel looks to me more bent down its length than waisted, with a slight bulge at the very top.
Would it be too farfetched to think that Tiberian-era Auxiliaries may have continued to use any of the aforementioned hispaniensis models ?
Any opinions ?
