<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 3561115, member: 99554&quot;]From the <i>Dictionary of Roman coins</i>: « The cuirass and paludamentum often appear together.&nbsp; Some coins, however, present the figures of Emperors in the cuirass without the military cloak; yet the paludamentum over the tucked-up tunic is more rarely to be seen without the cuirass. »</p><p>It seems there is a bit of confusion about the exact description on many coins. Very often,we only see ‘imperial mantle ´. Some pretends that we have to look at the size of the <i>fibula</i> to judge if the emperor is only draped or if he’s cuirassed ( and ready for war ) and wearing a Paludamentum....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
