Salute from Syria

[Jona Lendering]

well you'd better ask Jasper ;-) )

Jasper has a imagebase backlog... :oops:

That's a pity, because I have at least 30 photos of II Parthica soldiers from, indeed, Apamea.

I took 107 (I included a lot of non-figural ones too) back in 1992 but never posted them anywhere because the definitive publication had not yet appeared and, being old-fashioned, thought it polite not to do so. Sixteen years later it has still not appeared, although I think I sent Jasper copies against the day that they were eventually published. I am beginning to wonder if they ever will be and considering ways to make them available to a limited audience. Meanwhile, assuming they have not been moved indoors, Syrian winters may have begun to take their toll of the paint most of them still bore.

Is that a definate, or an appears to be?

Definitely unexcavated or definitely a strongroom?!
