Keep in mind the bright shiny copper color one is just a modern interpretation of what it may have looked like when it was complete, and what was found was just the small fragment next to it.
The article just neglects to mention this directly.
The model seems to make a lot of assumptions based on such a small fragment.

Personal items of dead people always make me emotional.. do you know what I mean? Even ~2000 years after the fact.. This person's life ended and all that he was and thought and felt is now gone.. so we do not know much, except that this item was important to him.

The single photo is remarkably elegant - a spare, almost modernist design.

> The camp was established by the 10th Legion, who was stationed in the area between AD 172 and 180
This is interesting wording. I have a strong urge toward saying either of two other options:
- "The camp was established by the 10th Legion, who were stationed in the area between..." [The Legion is a collection of people]
- "The camp was established by the 10th Legion, which was stationed in the area between..." [The Legion is not a person]
I have difficulty interpreting the Legion as a single person, though. Does the wording in the article work for other people?

As to the item itself, I find it a little odd to call it a "purse", since it's reconstructed as a solid metal object. That sounds inconvenient and uncomfortable at best.

Damn, I’ve read “pulse” and was both very confused and very excited!

How do you get that over your hand, and simultaneously have it tight enough to hold the little flap closed?
Better photos available e.g. at https://www.ceskenoviny.cz/zpravy/2688552
