Summary
| Description |
An auxiliary at a ferry on the Tyne. An abundance of leather distinguishes the equipment of this auxiliary, waiting for the ferry, from that of the legionary, but the pilum with which he is armed is essentially the legionary's weapon. His pectoral is of leather, an Iberic sword hangs from his left shoulder, and apron belt is worn over short leather breeches, and the rectangular scutum has re-appeared. This figure is based on the tombstone of C. Valerius Crispus from Mainz, a legionary of legio VIII Augusta. It was also the inspiration used by Ludwig Lindenschmit for his soldier model in the RGZM in Mainz. Like Lindenschmit, and follwoing Couissin, Forestier interpreted Crispus' armour as being made of leather (rather than mail as is now thought more likely). Amédée Forestier, 1927 NB: Original artwork by Amédée Forestier (1854-1930) |
