Yes, Byron- identified by Stead as a native British sword strongly influenced by the Romans- and the find spots of this (and similar "cockade" pommels) strongly indicate a Roman military rather than native use. Mike Bishop also has this as a Roman auxillary sword, as does Miks. I'll do a full write up over the Bank Holiday and after the Chalfont St Giles event.

Cheers
