    Here is some poorly engraved armor (note right shoulder) from Thessalonica, worn by Licinius Jr.--

    it should have looked more like what Constantine Jr. is wearing here--

    it seems someone did not understand what they were supposed to engrave, unless this is what he had in mind--

    I think it's pretty bad as*. Heck, lose your sword & shield, last-ditch effort is to CHARGE away.

    Reminds me of this one I sold a couple months back

    My understanding is that the shoulder is supposed to be raised in salute or some-such.
