How To.. wear the Pugio and Gladius (belts, fasteners)
#46
Quote:How can you base carrying the pugio on one example?
He's not, Matt. He's basing it on all of the scupltural evidence where the pugio is worn at the hip, plus the findings from an excavated example.

Quote:The velson dagger could be the exception, not the rule.Without further evidence there's no basis to say that it was worn vertically beyond a mere doubt.

Have to disagree with you there. :wink: All of the evidence supports Crispvs' opinion, and not a single shred of evidence supports it being worn at an angle at the hip.
