I don't have a photo to hand, but Erik Konig makes a copy of it you can see on his website. http://www.replik-online.de under Roman Empire/military/phalerae
It's also published in Michael Fugere's 'Weapons of the Romans' IIRC
No. Either is acceptable as we have evidence for both. The earlier renderings do have straight bodies.
