Did legion workshops make money?
#6
Mr. Robinson, the Chester curator, sent me a very nice color print of several of the Legion XX antefix in their collection. An image of one is in the 'off topic' section where I was attempting to learn how to post an image.<br>
Most of the antefix have the running boar, going either left or right, with a staff behind surmoounted by a disk with three arrows coming from the top. Mr. Robinson didn't have any idea what those were. One antefix with the image of a male in place of the round thing and arrows was probably a sun god, which to him means that they were still producing in the 3rd century, since this is the Imperial cult symbol which happened at that time. <p></p><i></i>
