Perusing the excellent Miks work last night I spotted these and wondered if they were attachment points for either lanyards or some kind of wrist strap to prevent total loss of the gladius if it slips out of one's hand during the heat of battle? They look like they are loops connected to the pommel nut/finial but I could be mistaken. Thoughts anyone?
