Tarbicus,
I think you may be thinking of the paper by Janka Istenic about an Augustan period sword and scabbard found in or close to the river Ljublanica which were clearly associated with a similarly decorated belt plate and cross hanger found nearby.

Cross hanger?

The bands that pass across a scabbard and have the suspension rings passed through their ends.

I think of a cross as a cross. Funny that!

I think Byron that it's from the point of view they go across the scabbard to hold the rings.
