Hi Sam,<br>
The Herculaneum soldier was wearing a dagger but I don't know details about its suspension system. He was wearing coins inside one of his belts, too.<br>
For attaching the sword to the belt, Peter Connolly has proposed for the earlier Delos 'Hispaniensis' a method involving a criss-crossed leather strap passed through the scabbard's four rings and fastened by a small buckle.<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
