Update on 1st Century Sarmatian Weapons
#20
Conal,

Thanks for reminding me of that. Some Sarmatians were also buried with the Type 1 sword at their back, not just at the (usual) left side. So perhaps the locations of the scabbard slides varied, as you noted, depending on how and where the sword was carried. Smile
