Scabbards, covered in leather or NOT?

Yeah I was a little confused by that one too. There is almost no evidence for even accidental voyages to the Americas by the Romans. I'd imagine they could get exotic woods from India and Africa though.

Umm how about no evidence. The closest thing we have are alleged Roman wrecks found off the coast of Brazil, but there is no evidence the Romans were even alive when the ships sank. The Brazilian government has since denied the wrecks but also destroyed them.

Simply, the Romans did not trade overseas with the Americas
