Hi Piotr,
Quote:I don't think it has been convincingly established there was some hard rule about centurions wearing their swords on the left. It would be more convenient when mounted, sure, but when time came to grab a scutum and lead the centuria, the sword on the left would be very uncomfortable.Technical discussions in a new thread please!!
