Quote:Salve"a centurion's Gallic F from Sisak"? Please enlighten me!
There are three examples that spring to mind regarding Romans polishing their kit: Josephus mentioning the parade during the seige of Jerusalem. Also the Velsen belt plates had been re-silvered at least two times, and the centurion's Gallic 'F' from Sisak had been resilvered three times. Silver dosen't ware away on its own!
