Republican Era reliefs with facing, similarly equiped heavy infantry.
I have been looking in vain for this relief, or matching pair of reliefs.
They/it show 2 infantrymen, in crested helmets, musculata, with spears, and what appears to be
padded garments under the armour.
I cannot recal if they are 2 seperate placks, of ivory, or stone carvings.
They could well be of Etruscan or Samnite, or Spanish origin. (I hknow a bit wide on the
mark there but I am working from memory) Seen them so may times, but now I am looking for them I cannot find them, and all my books are about 1000km away, packed in boxes.
Can anyone recall or find these, as I have spent most of my free time out here in vain looking for them.
