Ah! So then is it an applied word like loculus, or segmentata- not really the real Roman word because we don't know it? Or is it a real Roman word applied to the furca pack because it makes sense? Or is it the real Roman word for the furca pack (with everything tied on to it ).<br>

I'm not arguing with anyone, but I have always called just the satchel a loculus. I might be wrong, but that's what I have always thought it was. <p>Lucius Aurelius Metellus, draconarius, Secunda Brittanica</p><i></i>
