I have mentioned the Rome or David Casket, Byzantine, 898 or 900AD before. I now have some large coloured images of this.
Murder of the priests and the women and children of Nob (soldiers equipped as Byzantines) on the front of the Rome or David Casket
Most of the Byzantine soldiers are on the back of the Rome or David Casket:
David showing Saul’s severed garment (with Byzantine soldiers behind him) on the lid.
David in combat with Goliath (as a Byzantine soldier with spear and round shield
Israelite soldiers (as Byzantines) watching David beheading Goliath
Rome or David Casket, David beheading Goliath (with an inside view of his Byzantine helmet)
Philistine soldiers (as Byzantines) dismayed at the defeat of Goliath
On the left top of the casket:
David receiving the show bread and Goliath’s armour from Abimelech (with a soldier with almond-shaped shield)
