Hello forum,
Do you know of any possible late Roman scabbard decorations, especially in the 3rd century?
I do not mean scabbard slide, chape, or mouthpiece, but rather something like certain patterns or large inscriptions embossed into the leather covering the scabbard.
It’s just that the later scabbards seem so empty compared to their earlier cousins.
Regards
Kai
