Update on 1st Century Sarmatian Weapons
#21
Quote:Conal,

Thanks for reminding me of that. Some Sarmatians were also buried with the Type 1 sword at their back, not just at the (usual) left side. So perhaps the locations of the scabbard slides varied, as you noted, depending on how and where the sword was carried. Smile

I have in my mins eyena charioteer, I will scour my web downloads to see if I kept a copy.

This has a parallel i pr-Roman Britain as some scabbards had a centrally mounted belt loop and there are figurines showing back mounted swords... Did the Sarmations have any history of chariots?
