Description
This Roman Leather Capsa is crafted to securely hold your scrolls within a sturdy leather case, complete with an integrated baldric strap designed for comfortable wear across the shoulder. Such a capsa would have been an essential piece for messengers and Roman military officers, carrying vital orders and correspondence across the camp and beyond. The leather is thick, tough, and made from top-grain vegetable-tanned hide, offering durability against the rigors of travel and daily use. The stitching is strong and precise, ensuring the capsa holds together under strain. The baldric strap, fashioned from matching leather, features antiqued brass fittings that provide both function and period-appropriate style. Inside, the capsa holds three blank scrolls made of wooden rollers and parchment, ready to bear your own messages or decrees.
Fun fact: Roman officers often personalized their leather scroll holders with embossed symbols or initials, marking their rank or unit, making each capsa not just a container but a badge of identity.
