Benefactor Theodosius Posted July 21, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted July 21, 2022 The standing figure seems to be wearing a Corinthian helmet? The diagonal pattern on the robe of the standing figure is pretty distinctive looking and should be a good clue. Does not look familiar to me...

O-Towner Posted July 21, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 Thanks! That's it. I've been into ancients for over 25 years and had never seen this type before. Of course, there's probably a whole lot more that I've never seen. That's what makes it interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
