Hmmmm, I really don't think so. If there were any original depiction of any scabbard which even remotely resembled this item, I might be less dubious, but as far as I know every scabbard in Roman art looks exactly like the metal/leather/wood ones that have been found. Surviving textiles are very exciting, no mistake! But this could be from clothing, furniture, or something else entirely.
