Bronze cladding for the wooden gladiuspommel

[Anonymous]

Michel Feugère mentions in his book 'Weapons of the Romans' the existence of bronze cladding for wooden pommels. There is also a picture of an artifact. He gives the suggestion that most pommels would have been equipped with it, but that due to the frail (thin) material not much survives to the present day.<br>

Question: Is there any other reference of bronze cladding out there besides Feugère?<br>
