Many Thanks. I am well aquainted with the good Doctor. Send him my regards. Tim introduced me to this 12th C Byzantine sgrafitto plate of Digenis Akritas and he is represented with a paramerion and a dagger..
Thanks for the image Peter, I will pass on your regards to Timothy.
I think that plate formed the basis of his display using two swords, and I have to say he was quite handy at using them, normally bods using two weapons are easy prey to a foe equipped with a sword and shield.
