Quote:...are you sure about this ? The photo I have is damaged/chipped in this area, just above a missing chunk, though of course you would expect the short sword/large dagger to have a ring pommel at this date...and the blade shape on the stele and on extant examples seems to be more gladius shaped, but with a more rounded point........
At least on Bosporan stelae, the short dagger is always shown strapped to the right thigh with two straps after the first century BC.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
