Thank you for this, it's interesting the same word in Greek is used for hood (κουκούλα or cucula). Now I know its origin and of the modern hood.

Lets name this Augusta Treverorum man, Lars.

In complete honesty, I must think about this guy maybe once a month. One day I WILL own a Cucullus like his!

Also, not that it matters, but my guess as to what he was holding, is some kind of litter for carrying things. Which means he must have had a friend to carry the other end!
