Augustan sword-scabbards with net-like fitments
Abstract
The paper deals with net-like fitments which were attached to the tips of sword-scabbards. In two cases it is clear that such fitments were attached to scabbards of the Mainz type. The relatively good dating evidence indicates that they were current during the time of Augustus, especially in the decades before Christ. Their wide geographical distribution implies that they were part of the "regular" production of Roman weapons. Their chronological relationship to the openwork/opus interrasile and embossed fitments, which also occurred on sword- scabbards of the Mainz type, is discussed as well.
