On the discus in relief, a horseman riding left with head turned back looking over his left shoulder and holding a long, oblong shield in his left hand. He may be identified as a barbarian, possibly a Gallic warrior, since he is naked above the waist, has long flowing hair, and wears a torque around his neck.
