This leather bag recreates the loculus, a satchel or bag known as a pera carried by Roman legionaries for personal effects and supplies on the march.
A soldier’s loculus needed to be genuinely durable and roomy enough to carry days of rations and personal kit alongside his weapons and armour, an essential piece of everyday legionary equipment rather than a purely decorative accessory.
This reproduction measures 40 x 32 x 9cm (16″ x 13″ x 3″) and weighs approximately 1.5kg (3 lbs), part of our Roman heritage range.
