Jens - thanks for posting that link, it's a great image! This section is particularly dramatic:

But what's supposed to be happening here? A ritual event of some sort, I presume, but it does rather look like two men fighting over a girl and being ordered to desist!:

I'm sure you're right regarding swords - we have evidence that sections of the Danubian limes were garrisoned by mounted archer units, who would surely have needed more than just a bow in their everyday duties...
