but I ❤ Miks great starting point, should have a little black book with page references to finds ect to make finding easy
Regards Brennivs
Curious I just opened the page in Illerup "Die Schwerter" (Vol 11) to exactly the "Lauriacum - Hromowka" type (pg 200+), seems there are two swords of this type from Illerup, dating for all the swords listed appears to be for the second half 3rd century AD, not a terribly common type, 2 subtypes with 11 in total 4/7.
I know what you mean about the references its like negotiating a labyrinth!
I'm not convinced though that what were looking at in the images is the same sword? though its pretty clear the scabbard is the same one in both, does it say where it was found in Miks?
