I now have no problem with the idea that painting on Imperial statuary had shading. But bearing in mind that the Roman period is so extensive, we don't know if that was the case with Republican statuary, or at least earlier statuary. The point is to base our knowledge on what can be proven, and research, and not the same mistake the Victorians did, who actually changed armour to suit their own aesthetic. The question now is, how much shading was on the paintwork? :wink:
