Hi everybody
This video was developed by some friends of RHTV, done with quality, as you have seen. It was done as a presentation for the people who organized the Second Punic War International Congress I attended in the University of Jaen (Spain) last week. In this Congress, we could learn about the research of a battlefield related to the battle of Baecula, where more than 2.000 metal pieces has been identified and more than 8.000 founded. Some of the members where prominent university researchers as Giovanni Brizzi from the Bologne University, the Rost from Kalkriese Museum, Fernando Quesada Sanz, Jaume Noguera from the big roman campament of La Palma, close to the Ebro, and so on... we could learn about the techniques of how it is being excavated, and compare it to the other big roman battlefield of Kalkriese.
The people on the video and working on the project are members of groups as the iberians of Ibercalafell, the greeks from Athenea Promakhos, the punics from Iboshim, and the republican romans from Evocati Apri Scipioni. There are several more people, as the members of AERA or some interested in Italy, and quite a few from other spanish groups.
About the material found in Cerro de las Albahacas, close to the village of Santo Tomé, in Jaén, Spain, I can provide you with a link from a person who could mace pics in the exhibition a year ago. It is:
http://www.redjaen.es/francis/?m=c&o=32613
You can see hobnails (about 770 found) lead slingers, javelins heads, a singular pilum, tent pickets, a lot of head-arrows... the sword is not included in the loot, it is from another place not related, I believe. There is also a pendant from a Signum or Standard (not knowing if roman or punic) and scabbard-buttons.
Interested that in the communications of Fernando Quesada Sanz, Florian Himmler and his job done 6-7 years ago about the loosing of hobnails from caligae in the 3-week walk was quoted as a big help for studying the dispersion and number of soldiers in the battle of Baecula (it is believed this is the site of the Polibian described battle)
And that's all, by the moment. Now we have to make research, build the items as close to the original artifacts as we can and... work it a lot.
Greetings,
