Oct 18, 2018 at 11:07 comment added Anixx @jjack the both are women.
Feb 22, 2018 at 19:47 comment added jjack The one person on the left in the relief seems to be a woman (look at chest and maybe the hair), so this may not be representative of a handshake which I have seen in movies about Roman soldiers greeting themselves.
