copper-alloy Type \'A\' sheath

[LVCIVS VVLPES]

the side gutters are original on the scabbard from Spain, on the Nijmegen scabbard, I think they where never there ????

sure the Romans had the double disc hilts,
the double disc handle originate in Spain, and was adopted by the Romans, there is little difference between the Spanish and the Roman
types.
there are Roman types found in Numantia, Caceres, Garurris and some other sites in Spain.
one double disc handle with part of the blade is found near Chalon sur Saone in the Saone river, a blade in Alesia and a complete dagger with double disc handel in Oberaden.

there is no dagger with the Nijmegen sheet, so my reconstruction is hypothetical
