Commentary
Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Casque et visière lisses. Cuirasse décorée et festonnée. Ce type est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux, en particulier avec la palme à trois branches.
With all its surface silvering. Smooth helmet and visor. Decorated and scalloped breastplate. This type is actually much rarer than general works suggest, particularly with the three-pointed palm

Historical background
ROMA
(330-348)
Rome was founded on April 21, 753 BC according to Varro (Ab Urbe Condita). The city, whose population fluctuated between 400,000 and one million during the High Empire, lost its importance from the second half of the 3rd century. The choice by Constantine of a new capital, from 326, dealt him a fatal blow from which the Urbs would not recover before the Renaissance. The city will still survive for nearly one hundred and fifty years, despite two sacks: those of 410 and 455. Rome is no longer in Rome.
