> 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.
