Talk:Samnium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is there any historical accuracy to that image of Samnites that is presented? Just wondering. Looks more like imaginative artwork. Alexander 007 05:34, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Probably. Whatever the source, there was originally a caption, note the small numbers above each figure. Most likely the design motifs are taken from archaeological hints that have been found; my druthers would be to locate some of the original bits and include photos of those, so we're not being filtered through some "artist's conception" (Anglo-Saxon kings are the worst - we have no actual images of most of them, but that didn't stop 19th-century artists from making their total fabrications.)

The image is gone, has it been deleted?
