1st Century Roman Leather Pouch Link

"I didn't know any pouch remains were found at Lyon" The pouch itself had long disappeared, but the presence of :-
a/ Money (poss carried in a pouch)
b/ A loop on the belt to hold (say) a pouch
c/ The absence of anything else that could have hung from it

...leads me IMHO to believe that a pouch was carried by the poor bloke who ended up in a well- though I cannot prove it.... Certainly, James his Dura book believes that the loop in the Utere Felix belt was used to hang a pouch off it.

Btw , re the canteen, was this the source- looking at the archway on the left?
