Quote:That's an interesting perspective. Would you mind saying a little bit more about how the Danish bog finds show the high premium of Roman weapons, and if there's any literature about it.The theory about the weapons being valued is that the weapons which were ofeered to the gods and thrown in the water, were actually the valued pieced - one does not throw bad stuff to the gods.
