How many Weapons did a Soldier Need?
#18
Miks in his book shows a good variety of daggers (not being pugio!), some supposedly cut down from a damaged swordblade. Then there are the single edged knives of which a good few were found in Augsburg. These were mainly for utilitarian/domestic use but could really cause mayor grief in a fight. Military context.

The seax evolved from such a large type of knife, have a look at the pictures in the thread Big Franks, but they have stayed around for a very long time.
