I have found that the neck of the pouch is long enough that it can be tucked through the belt and it stays very well. The picture could be depicting the pucker of a pouch but I believe it is a decrative edge my self.
Now for a little rant that I appologise for before hand but it has been bugging me for a long time. Greek does not equal Roman and Roman does not equal Greek. A late Roman pouch is as far wrong as a La Tein pouch. Yes the Romans looked to the Greek culture for a lot of stuff but they still retained an individual culture. I believe that an interpretation of the vase painting is far more authentic than using a Roman pouch as a Greek item.
