Hi all!
I was wondering: Normally it is assumed that Roman soldiers were carrying a situla each, as far as I can see this is due to the depictions on Trajan´s Column. But how is this earlier? Do we have any sources? I have the impression that several Augustan sites rather bring up large riveted iron kettles... :wink:
