Finds identified as manicae have come from Carlisle, Trimontium (Newstead), Carnuntum, Richborough, Coria (Corbridge), Eining (Abusina) on the Danube frontier, Leon, and Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa. A very well preserved manica was found in 2010/2011 in a soldiers barracks at the Roman castle of Steincheshof on the Rhine frontier. This manica dated from the last third of the first century to the first third of the second century. These suggest that the manica was in use by the Roman military during the 1st century AD, independent from the Dacian wars. During the Dacian wars the Manica was used in order to prevent the damage from a falx.
