Greek Naval Machaira?
#1
So in an effort to build a Greek arsenal, I have been trying to research things which have been less widely used as Xiphos and Kopis in Classical Greece (and the surrounding centuries).  The Koryvantes Association has a publication that talks of a naval machaira of some sort, with an illustration to go along with it.

The problem is that I haven't been able to find any other information about this type of sword, and I'm not going to be able to start a new build based solely on this one illustration. 
If anyone has some information about this kind of sword and any pictures that would be incredibly helpful. 
Here's a link to the page: https://koryvantesstudies.org/studies-in...page112-2/ - It is in Greek so you may have to use a translator.
