I see 2 examples on 166 in HRR's book alone. one of a canted dagger, and one of a canted gladius. in fact there are several examples of canted gladii in the book. Plus heaps of examples in one sculpture of gladii at armpit level, and worn gunslinger fashion page 182 - 183.
Then on page 9 of G. Sumner's Roman Military Clothing 1, there is a picture of a chap wit hboth gladius and pugio canted.
Now....if I can find the horizontal one again..... :?
