Hello,
I'm currently in the midst of constructing my marching pack and have a few questions. I'm almost finished with my loculus, having followed the excellent guide at the Legio XX site. Next I'll be starting what is described as a bag to hold the cloak. This brings me to a couple of questions.
Does this item have name? What do you guys keep in yours?Are we all basing our reconstructions on Trajan's Column? It is my understanding that larger drawstring type bags have found at Comaccio and Deurne. Are there any surviving examples/leather fragments on which to base a reconstruction? Failing this, would a scaled up version of the Bargercompascuum bag (minus the decoration) be acceptable?
I would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks,Dorian
