Another sling
#14
Hmm. Could be. Not sure how that would work. I'm probably going to make a simple, round bottomed, leather shoulder bag. I don't think linen would hold up to the friction with stones as well as soft leather.

Here's a related question, mabye it should be on another thread. We know in general that rank and file evidently wore their gladii on the right. Would that be realistic for a right handed slinger? Seems like anything that would interfere with the cord would be a bad idea.

Do we suspect that slinger auxiliae carried gladii?
