the sword in the OSPREY BOOK in the Augst Museum - Anonymous - 11-22-2002
<br>
Alright. The address of the Roemermuseum at Augst is in a recent post from me if anyone fancies dusting off their German and writing to them.<br>

The picture in the book makes it look about 35-40 cm long and the "hilt" is very sword like but then the drawing of the wooden practice sica does not resemble the dimensions I have seen elsewhere. No doubt a picture will turn up !!<br>
<br>
Getting back to my Hoplo with two manica ( please excuse my lack of Latin grammar ) ... the picture I am refering to does not have him fighting a Thracian but a Myrmillo. The mosaic is a floor and has them in an arched background .. i cant seem to paste it here but if anyone wants to see it e-mail me directly on [email protected] and i will copy it to you.<br>
<br>
As our status as " gladiator " fans makes us interlopers on a sqauddie sight can we not go on the off subject bit ?<br>

TO put the image is use <img src="http:// image location "/> that shoudl do the trick.<br>
<br>
And as much as I hate to say it we should really take this to the off subject forum now as we have pretty much lost any details of the original psprey thread and I don't really want to keep us stealing the forum with this unrelated thread.<br>
<br>
Perhaps you could start a new thread off topic with your image?<br>
<br>
Plans are comng together though for a new forum called Roman Combat Sports, so we will have a place to go shout before Christmas ... think of it as an early Christmas pressie!<br>

Sorry that was my fault entirely, I didn't turn off the ezcodes. You need to do the codes as follows.<br>

<br>
I am forming links with Jenny to try and be a compliment to RAT as much as possible.<br>
<br>
There are afew things to sort out yet such as the colours, some links can't be seen, but it is up and working. You can find it here: pub75.ezboard.com/bromancombatsports<br>

Good luck Graham, hope it becomes a successful forum. And it's great you want to be a compl<em>i</em>ment to RAT, though a complement alone would've been fine. <p>Greets<br>
