Greek armour breastplate from a vase found in Nola, Naples. The gold bauble at front suggests it was for a young Roman noble. Greek shield, helmet, lance, bow and quiver from an antique basrelief. Copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga after an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani from his own 100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, Franzetti, Rome, 1802.
