Late roman spatha\'s with stripe pattern
#42
Marcus,

Looks lenticular to me.

Robert,

Thanks for the info on the whatshallIcallums. You could well be right. :lol:

On the regular Roman spatha. The shape I agree is regular Roman, I just have never seen or even heard of a metallic grip assembly before on a Roman sword (Mind you my knowledge on late Roman swords is hardly comprehensive). It looks like some sort of cupric alloy to me?

Andrew
