Quote:I am currently waiting on a reproduction of the Cantebury Kopki sword, which I was assured was of the correct time frame. Also ring pommel swords are of the correct period, from what I understand!
As well as the pompey!
Hope that is of help and not misleading!
Edit: sorry missed you reply Matt!
Thank you! To be honest I thought that gladii were already a bit old for this period.
But I think in 166 they could be still quite popular. However, I would like to ask you (maybe your own opinion)if they were still in use a bit later - about 170 - 180 AD. I guess they started to be gradually replaced by spathae and ring pommel swords more and more?
