Wonderful archaeological discovery, it is impressive the gold plate on the pommel with the representation of the gorgon's head.

Very nice. And yes, there are tons of them down there. 200 years now what we have dug has to be the 0,000% of what lies down there.

What is even more fascinating than the find of this sword is the claim that remnants of a bow were also found. If that is true, then this would be one of the only cases where remnants of a Greek bow dating from this time period were found.
