Hey,
Thanks for that link, it was really helpful. I'm going to download and have a look at those articles tomorrow.
What I'm specifically looking for is the intemediaries between the roman gladius hispaniensis and the spanish antropomorpic shortsword(or dagger). I presume that these were originally celtiberian intepretations of the gallic la tene swords with 50-60cm leaf-shaped blades and with some kind of mixture of the gallic hilt designs and the celtiberian ones. I'd like to have these swords confirmed, do they exist and what does the hilts look like?
All the longer celtiberian swords I have seen have parallell edges and not leaf-shaped blades...
I want to have a historical correct replica made of these intemediary swords, assuming I can get my hands on a photo or a drawing.
Cheers,
Jesper
