Commentary
Poids léger. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges à peine visibles sous le paludamentum. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Lightweight. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Pteryges barely visible under the paludamentum. This type appears rarer than general works suggest.
