Quote:AFAIK Roman composite bows were comparatively larger thanm later ones, so the size and basic shape isn't wrong. But our main 'lead fossil' for Roman archery is bone 'ears' which this bow doesn't have. Also, I doubt the shape of the handle is anywhere near historical examples. So it'd be a compromise even before considering materials and construction (which we all compromise on with many items).
How much is 1400 SKR in civilised money? Is it particularly cheap for a bow of this type?
How large is that? This bow comes in size up to 160 cm.
1400 is around 150 evro!
