Quote:The Oberaden pugio is dated to 11-8 B.C. and it has a stacked hilt with metal as the top layer on both sides.Jason, I may be using the wrong term here. What I mean is, do any pugiones from that period have a guard, grip and pommel construction "stacked" onto a rod tang, like a gladius? I'm mainly interested in clarification about that Morrow pugio.and Bryan's comment.
