Quote: the Romans (and other civilisations before and after them) made things in certain ways and with recognisable characteristics. In establishing a typology all we are doing is identifying what these were.

yes, of course; I completely agree on that.
I don't want to say that this classification is unusefull or wrong (apologize for my bad english :oops: ) , but just that , because it didn't exist in ancient time , each type of classification always will have some "black point".
Anyhow , there is a nice catalogation of celtic sword of the British Library. Do you know it? It wolud be a fine source of ideas.
