Two Swords for the Legionary?

[Matthew]

All sources for wearing of equipment is not all literary,either. A picture(relief,statue) is still sometimes worth a thousand words.

Unless the sculpter was looking dead on at an individual! :wink:

Many possibilities outside the text exist to explain Josephus' statement; are there any other indications within the text, though?

[Edit]
Hmmn. Yeah, I had forgotten that Josephus also describes the Cavalry wearing their Swords on their right hand side. A very odd passage; I can't make head nor tail of the Greek and my computer is not rendering it properly, so that doesn't help...
