Comments: Depiction of scale armour on equestrian tombstones seems to be relatively rare. Two other examples with well defined scale: Longinus Sdapeze and Vonatorix. Other examples from Algeria exist, but are not yet in the imagebase.
Two photos of fragments of this stone in Benseddik\'s book have been digitally put together.
