Cool!!
Impressive!
Aren't navy soldiers ordinarily referred to as sailors?
Very interesting find!
Or Marines ... expected to fight on sea or land, but not to be involved in sailing the ship.
That's a marine!
Good point! What was I thinking?

It's a early Marine, dude!! Semper fidelis!!!
Did anyone check to see if his head was threaded, so he could screw on his jar lid?
(former squid)
Wouldn't that likely be"
CAPITO OPT(IO) DE LIBURNA
Big Head Officer (Captain!) during the Galley Aurata something....
I think I know where Ross Perot got his ears from now.
Wow! Hobbits in the Navy!
Hmmm' child like features, on a ship, in armor--got to be a Marine. Now we know where Uncle Sam's Misguided Children came from.
Is that Pippen, or Merry? My money says it's that "Fool of a Took".
Appears the dude had swollen ankles, perhaps a symptom of poor circulation or congestive heart failure? A modern doctor would put him on water pills.
Groovy, too!!
