etruscan sword chape - Velites77 - 09-08-2016

well this one it is not properly greek but anyway it is related to my project of an italic xiphos for my etruscan hoplite kit,

in the connolly book, greece and rome at war, at page 98, there is a little sketch of a sword chape that should be in the roman central museum in Mainz,

i don't know if Connolly can be taken as a reliable source, but by any chance, there is someone that can provide some more details of the sword chape in question?

my research on internet has been a failure

thanks

It comes under the heading of Ager Faliscus in " Zur Eisenzeitlichen Bewaffenung und Kampfesweise in Mittalitalien by P.F.Stary. 1981.
The actual sword+chape appears to be from: Capena, San Martin grave 41, dated to the 6th century and is illustrated with a thumbnail drawing but quite recognisable, the original literature is in: Mon.Ant.16. 1906 which I assume is a journal.... unfortunatly I cant help further as I cant find any reference to what "Mon.Ant" means...

Belay that its "Monumenti Antichi" vol 16 page 403(64) fig 27 here:

Ive updated the link the rest still applies, scrol down the page for the articles and click on the pdf for:

277-490 Paribeni, Roberto: Necropoli del territorio Capenate [Image: pdf.png]


Hope you get it this time, the only other thing I can suggest is too do a search for "Monumenti Antichi" vol 16 1906 thats how I found the digital copy above.... or try this link:
