Arpvar,<br>
I wish you good luck with your computer, it's not easy to deal with them when they are not in the mood!<br>
Turning to Deurne, the roughly contemporary Berkasovo helmets were associated to propeller belt fittings. Maybe that fashion spread from Pannonia and in the Western areas they were still wearing the simple buckle and strap end belts.<br>
About the coins, the published photos show clear corrosion patches, but the intact surface areas seem to be little or not worn at all. Bear in mind that the fact of most coins in the group belonging to the same type and mint office points clearly to having been buried or lost when you could still get they easily by the sack, i.e. when they were freshly minted!<br>
The campagi,... I have good drawings of the Deurne, Vindolanda and Cuijk campagi, but I've no right to pass them, because they belong to Carol van Driel!<br>
The sarcophagi I mentioned were sculpted at Rome, but you can find a good bunch of them at the Arles museum (look for St Peter's arrest)<br>
I posted at this forum a photo of my reconstructed campagi, didn't you see it?<br>
Yes, I think that the silver object is part of a Gundremmingen chape. If you look at it, you will see the central and side ribs so common on late scabbards. Well, the surviving leather scabbard has no traces of them and it is thick enough as to have preserved such marks. That's why I guess that two swords were present.<br>
Bone and antler slides are both very common and equally strong. I didn't made the two side borings to mine and it would have worked better with them.<br>
If you give me an e-mail address, I'll send you a pair of photos of my sword.<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
