Representations of barbarians form 5th century
#21
Well that explains that.

Just because it's a Gold Hilt with Cloisonne doesn't mean it's dated to late 5th. There are plenty of Gold Hilts that are early 5th and the Pouan, which is the first blade with Cloisonne, AFAIK is dated to roughly 450.

As for the evidence of the use of Orbiculi, Clavii, Segmentae, etc. on Barbarian Tunics, there have been a few examples found from bog finds in Denmark and the recent one found in a glacier that have Clavii, Orbiculi, etc.

And of course there are artistic depictions like the Vandal Mosaics, etc.
