Commentary

Avec son argenture. Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. Ce type est en fait plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
With its silver plating. Type 3 ribbons. Pteryges invisible under the paludamentum. This type is actually rarer than general works suggest.
