Information Needed: Roman Scabbard, Arles France in the Rhone River 1st Century ad - Pointer - 02-14-2019
Does anyone have any information about this sword and scabbard? It appears to be a Pompeii by the shape of the core of the scabbard, however, I have never seen a Pompeii Scabbard with an all metal front. The Chape gutters are more Pompeii Shaped than a Fulham and way to narrow for a Mainz and to short for a spatha. Where is it now...? Anywhere I can find better pictures or information on it? This is the only information I have: Roman Scabbard Found in Arles France in the Rhone River 1st Century.
The Hilt guard is like the flower pattern guard in the Vindonissa Museum.
If you have any information or pictures of this Scabbard I would greatly appreciate it... either post them here or send me a private message.
Thank you in Advance.
