Hi,

I need your expertise. This is supposedly a 1st/2nd century AD Roman sword.

Its only 20 inches total, end to end (handle to sword tip).

Did Roman swords of that era still have a center ridge running down it?

20 inches total, is this a sword or possibly a large Pugio?

Any info would be appreciated

Thanks
Steve
