Pugiones and Cingula

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

I was at the Hadrian exhibit at the BM this week, and noticed the soldiers in tunics who were taking the Debt records for burning on the relief that records this, were wearing belts with the cingulums worn very short, ie wrapped around the belts. But they were wearing cingulums.

I tend to agree with crispus on the resheathing idea though, as you would not be all expected to resheath on command, after a battle.... :roll: :lol:
Time would be needed to clean your weapons to start with..
