New Xiphos found in Koukkos, Greece
#5
What is even more fascinating than the find of this sword is the claim that remnants of a bow were also found. If that is true, then this would be one of the only cases where remnants of a Greek bow dating from this time period were found.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
