Book captioning isn’t leaving lots of time for blogging or other research, but it’s almost done.

It won’t work for the book as I need the IMPERAT to be legible. I’ll pay for an image of Boston specimen instead. Still, I like the photo as it has the tags and shows the back and forth over attribution. (Metcalf endorses Witschonke and Amandry’s attribution to Pergamon now).
