SALVE,

The two works are very good researched, and give us some light in the adoption of the iberian dagger by the roman invaders. There are a lot of technical considerations, sometimes discussed in that forum.

As we have shocked with the publication of new kinds of gladii in the book of Miks, in that works you will find some inusual kinds of pugio sheaths, probably following regional fashion.


I really recomend both!
