FAQs - Further Questions!
What exactly is a Capsa?
A Roman Capsa was a round container, usually made of leather or wood, in which the Romans safely stored and transported their scrolls. You can think of the Capsa as a kind of "school bag" of antiquity, but for writings instead of books and notebooks. It was particularly practical because it could be carried with a strap, protecting important texts from dirt and moisture.
How do I properly care for a Roman Capsa made of leather?
To properly care for a Roman Capsa made of leather, occasionally clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Use a special leather care product from time to time to keep the leather supple and protect it from drying out.
Is the Capsa also suitable for modern documents?
The Capsa is primarily designed for storing papyrus sheets or rolls but can also secure modern paper documents in a smaller format. This allows a historical presentation of your cherished writings at reenactments or exhibitions.
How do I wear the Capsa best during a reenactment?
During a reenactment, you can conveniently carry the Capsa over your shoulder, either with an attached leather strap or through a rod for hanging. This ensures authenticity and free movement during historical portrayals.
