Dan,<br>
<br>
Thanks for answering my questions, without taking offence.<br>
<br>
It would seem that this Dura depiction of the ancient biblical events creates more questions than it might even allude to give answers for.<br>
<br>
The tunic colours of the men in one of the scenes, the site seems to be down at the moment, alternates perhaps giving us more of a direct indication of the artists aesthetic sensibilities rather than a historic depiction .. unless we need to have the soldiers stand in alternating colours in the ranks The aesthetic consideration also gains a little credibility as the soldiers shown also alternate skin colour in one of the line ups.<br>
<br>
This is a nightmare that I am glad us gladiators need not get involved with.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for all your time, incidently is there an online sample of the Fuentes document to read?<br>
<br>
Take care all,<br>
<br>
