Attached are pictures of a new republican scabbard based on the find at Kalkriese. The original was found underneath a mule in a pack. Only the scabbard was found, not the sword. Conjecture suggests it was a parazonium, not a gladius at all, but given the era and the manner of carrying it, it is possible it was an older, cherished gladius.
