How were the tetrarchs\' sword scabbards attached
#3
Yes, maybe, but the other details are quite elaborated (e. g. the sword-hilt, but maybe because the sculptor wanted to "highlight" it as a symbol). And there's still the question: how were the sword scabbards attached? Perhaps not to the belt, but not with a balteus as well, as it is depicted on Barsemis Abbei's altar, and some other Palmyrene and Apamean steles.
