Update on 1st Century Sarmatian Weapons
#87
Very thanks for reply.

Quote:they were strictly bowmen who carried an auxiliary "knife-sword," probably single sided (a "dao") and not a long-sword.
This is another interesting cause, origins of seax in Hunnic forces. Further here:

Whole comparison (fig. 55) in Gunny i Tiurki is based onarcheological findings, but without dating of each sword. Here http://www.istmira.com/istdr/gunny-i-tyurki/page/107/ is online version of this book. He claiming exactly : "Вероятнее всего, описанные типы раннегуннских мечей и кинжалов имеют китайское происхождение", what means "probably, described types of early hunnic swords and daggers are of chinese origin."
