I must point out that the fransisca and saxes pictured are not quite right for the 1ste, 2de century, both being early medieval between 5th to 7th century.
I know... :oops: ...unfortunately it's really difficult to find pictures of germanic battle knives of the I-II A.D.
Thought, between the III A.D. and the III B.C. ones there is almost no difference, pointing out that, as for the celtic war-knife, there wasn't a particular tipologycal mutation during the ages (probably due to the funcional use of the "weapon"...everyday butcher knives are almost identical to III B.C. celtic knives...)
III B.C. Germanic battle-knives from Denmark:
For the axes, I admit my fault...knowing that III B.C. Celts already know ring-axes I assumed (making a big mistake), that was the same for I-II a.D. Germans...and now I can see that they still used socketed axes.
If it isn't a problem, I would like to ask Peroni to take the axes picture he posted and putting it in the FVLCVM website
