Quote:Jef, if you believe Osprey`s "The Sarmatians" the ring pommel sword was used at least from the 2nd C BC bc to 2nd C AD. In fact sarmatians revered the sword plunged to a ground pouring libations on it. Sounds "arthurian"? There you go :wink: ...

Anyway Trajan must have faced this weapon during his campaigns in Dacia. If I just could "stretch" the era forwards when this sword was used by the romans (`till the 4th C AD) I would buy this beauty right away:

When you remember that a large draft of Sarmatian heavy cavalry were sent to Britain by Marcus Aurelius after he succeeded in obtaining a peace treaty with the nomadic Sarmatian tribes, the connection to the Arthurian Mythos may not be so very far-fetched.
