A discussion on another forum got me thinking: how do we know that some ancient cavalry used their lances two-handed? The usual suspects, like the Dura Europos graffiti and the Sassanid royal reliefs, don't clearly show a two-handed grip; the only picture I can find is an Italian silver bowl of +VI or +VII. I think there are some central Asian images somewhere ... I just can't find proof.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
