I can imagine that this subject was discussed several times before, but I could not find a concret answer by the "search"-Function - so please help...!
Are there any archaeological evidences for the use of the Pugio between 100 and 130 n.Chr? I tried to find some, but the only one is the one at carnuntum - if it really dates in the 2nd century at all.

What about the "Titelberg"-Dagger, the frame-Sheath becomes very popular in the late 2nd century and was also known in the 1st century and in republican time. The small blade of the Titelberg-Dagger refers well to the one of carnutum above. By the way, I do not talk about this industrial 50$-Titelberg-"thing", but about the real one... :wink: How sure is it´s dating in republican time?

Are there any pugio fragments defintely out of the early 2nd century?
