Pugio Sheath Shapes

[Matthew Amt]

Nice stuff, Crispus, thanks for posting! If it will help, here is a reconstruction I did of the Exeter scabbard:

Simms' is a little neater than mine, but I think it gets the idea across. The Exeter report says there's a little iron triangle at the bottom front, but not at the back, so that's how I did it. I'd love to know how Simms connected the sides to the disc at the bottom, that was really a pain...

I've also done a couple very plain Type A scabbards, like this:

Some crappy metalwork down at the bottom, and I guess we need to add a rivet or rosette at the tip, yes? Anyway, this is all on the Legio XX Pugio page,

Valete,
