Diocletian in strange paludamentum
Lech Stępniewski:
I just came across this Diocletian medallion. The drapery (paludamentum) looks very strange for me. Extensive tooling? Forgery? For comparison example of the same type from Gnecchi.

Hi LS,
I think it has been severely tooled. The fields have also been smoothed.

I agree that this is the product of heavy tooling. The drapery folds looked like they've been carved in rather than struck.
SC:
His beard has been horribly tooled too.
His "drapery" reminds me of a "preppy" wearing a sweater in the 80s.
