The diagram above clearly shows to me that many of the blade shapes villified in the past as being too innacurate for re-enactment are clearly sound, as long as they don't have those stupid V-shaped fullers at the top of the blade.
Look at 10!! Show up at a group with that and you'd be tasting caligae!
I'm off to take a look on Ebay. :wink:
I reckon 10 is a two man sword - the Roman equivalent of a Weapon of Mass Destruction?
