The reason we are all posting here is that this place is full of leading aiuthorities of Roman stuff :roll: and we have different oppinions ... what cannot be said is that one oppinion is invalid because someone with a few letters after his/her name has or hasn't confirmed said oppinion.
I remember a time when it was thought, by experts, that the Gladius Hispaniensis was something other than it turned out to be.
I therefore declare myself an expert and hereby declare them eyes and eyebrows. To me it is the unique nature of the positioning of the jewels which give rise to them representing eyes. I do not need more than one example to deduce that and what others have done with their jewels indicates they may not have been bothered with eyes.
