BTW, if anybody objects to my posting these couple photos of deceased people from the 1890's , for conversation-sake, I will delete them immediately.

The sculptor understood the Romans admired the Gaul(s) for his courage and physical prowess, invested in combat. Even the enemy was acknowledged for his exceptional, masculine, warrior qualities.
