fourth century quiver

[Mick Saunders]

Any one have any good pictures of a fourth century quiver? I am hoping to make one of these and would appreciate any assistance you can offer.

In your profile you can set a signature, which shows up on the bottom of every post you'll make. Than you could not forget sign your posts ( wish is a forum rule)

For the V century, we have the virgilius romanus, with good pictures for the quiver.
Sorry, nothing for IVe century.
(See the vaticanus virgilius early V century)

Many thanks.I had seen these and as you say they are 5th century. I do not know where to go for 4th century. But again thanks for looking.

The problem with those, otherwise excellent, Vergilius Romanus illustrations is we don't see them worn, but my guess is that the ties were for slinging onto the waist belt.

Thanks folks.

I was hoping that some of the late roman groups would post pictures of their quivers.I have yet to see any photos which I could usefully use as a guide.

Any help gratefully received

Ah, now I don't think I have any close ups and I don't have any details, but:

Various quivers - bolt, javelin and arrow.

Rufus at Vindolanda - javelin and arrow quiver with a glance at suspension.

I'm sure Mithras can dig out some close ups...

Thank you. Just what I was looking for. Close ups would be great.Will post my attempt at a later stage. At the moment a lot of thought.

I use something like that for my plumbatae, but with a shoulder strap.

[Salvianus]

Yep, a couple of the guys have plumbatae quivers of the same design to go inside shields - we call 'em buckets.

[Robert Vermaat]

Pictures! I can't see how that would work...

[Salvianus]

Sorry, I don't seem to have any - the more I'm in kit, the fewer photos I take...:roll:

Personally, I think attaching to the belt is the most practical method so far, but the experiments continue to approach Vegetius...
