The tulip motives on the knife makes me wonder if it was actually Roman and not from the Middle East.

The Roman Empire covered a huge area, including some of the Middle East and North Africa so it’s highly likely that people, objects, and ideas all moved around. They could well have taken inspiration from something seen at one of the outposts.
