The Pompeii Pugio stands out as a collector's item due to its historical authenticity as a detailed replica of the classic Roman legionary dagger made famous by finds in Pompeii. The replica is typically made with a carbon steel blade, while materials such as wood, brass, and steel are used for the handle and the ornate scabbard.

As a mark of bravery and prestige, it distinguished soldiers from the rest of society. This meticulously crafted replica faithfully reproduces the historical, ornate decoration through a decorative steel scabbard with rich brass fittings and elaborate engravings on the grip, reflecting the wearer's high rank and status.
What historical artifact served as the specific model for this replica of the Pompeii Pugio, and for what type of belt attachment are the characteristic rings on the scabbard designed?

This Pompeii pugio has a total length of approximately 34.5 cm and weighs around 700 g. Since the blade is made of non-stainless carbon steel, it should be stored dry and regularly treated with preservative oil (e.g., WD-40 or gun oil), especially after skin contact.
