I have drawings from Manning's book on Romano-British Ironwork (somewhere!) which show three possible versions
a) just the spur point attached directly to the boot
b) Spurs which have "arms" with holes in the end for leather or other material straps. (Like modern spurs)
c) (possibly) the spur attached via short "arms" directly to the boot in the manner of modern military dress spurs ie Mess Kit.
I'm away from my paperwork at the moment but will post the drawings from the aretfacts if required.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
