Hello Everyone:
i live in Cymru/Wales. I am researching the Gododdin poem which was probably first sung about 1400 years ago in Duneidyn/Edinburgh in the territory of the 'Wotadini' as recorded by Ptolemy in 4th century. It is speculated that the Wotadini tribe/nation who spoke an ancient sort of Welsh, were allies of the romans and helped keep the Picts out of Britain south of the northumbrian wall.
Fighters of the Wotadini/Votadini/Gododdin (linguistically there is a link!) left Dineidyn and nearly all died in a fierce battle in what is now northern england. The poem is a series of elegies for the fallen.
In order to visually highlight the poem, i am very interested in finding out a historically correct shape of the swords used by the Britons after the legions left Britain ca AD410.
I cannot find anything on the internet, but admit to being inept at this. Does any of you have information, or are aware of old sub-roman /celtic-type swords being unearthed during archaeological work for the period ca AD600?
Sorry, i don't speak Latin
