quiver for javelins - arminius - 03-06-2016
It looks that I finally came across a pictorial source for the javelin-quiver mentioned by F. J.
The drawing is from the book “Armes et guerriers barbares au temps des grandes invasions (IVe au VIe siècle apr. J.-C.), Paris 2001” by Iaroslav Lebedynsky.
Unfortunately I have no clue what the provided information “Theodusius-Stele / Ukraine, Crimea / 1st – 3rd c.” is supposed to mean.
Does anybody know what monument the author is referring to?

I know about this, I've seen a reconstruction of this quiver somewhere.
This is the Theodosia (a city, Kaffa I believe) Stele from the Crimea (i.e. the Bosporan Kingdom or possible Sarmatian).

Page 212 of 'The World of the Huns' - Maenchen-Helfen contains a picture of the stele from Theodosia in the Crimea, first to third centuries. It represents the deceased Atta, son of Tryphon.

Theodosia or Feodosia, as it's now spelled, a port in the southeastern Crimea, the hometown of my third wife. Quite possibly the Bosphorus Kingdom was controlled by the Aorsi, specifically, at this time... rather than the all-inclusive and generalized term "Sarmatian." Don't even ask me about the "Scythians."
We see an akinakes strapped to his outer right thigh, and he appears to be holding something-- perhaps a quick shot of hauma. The horse has one crennelation on its mane, maybe others missing from being defaced. Crennelated manes are an Alanic/Aorsi trait and extend back to the Yuezhi who trimmed their horses' manes in the same style.

It isn't similar javelin case?
RE: quiver for javelins - Alanus - 03-05-2017
This phelara looks Germanic. I don't see a javelin case, but maybe the backside of a shield.
RE: quiver for javelins - Flavivs Aetivs - 03-06-2017
What time period is that from?
I don't think it's a javelin case, it seems just to be decorative lines, nothing more.
RE: quiver for javelins - Alanus - 03-06-2017
Evan,
The rider looks like a Vendel. Don't believe there is anything on this plaque that looks like a javelin case.

No, this is Thracian. But i know, that western propaganda always assign achievements of other peoples to western.
