Just receive the book below- quite superb illustrations of daggers, statuary and reconstructions- many thanks MC Bishop!<br>
<br>
"Both of these were published by Lindenschmit back in the 1880s and regularly surface in various publications (Edith Thomas' Helme, Schilde, Dolche springs to mind) and they are included in what must surely be top of your Christmas list:<br>
<br>
J. Obmann, Studien zur römischen Dolchscheiden des 1. Jahrhunderts n.Chr. Archäologische Zeugnisse und bildliche Überlieferung, Kölner Studien zur Archäologie der römischen Provinzen Bd.4, Rahden 2000 ISBN 3-89646-132-X<br>
<br>
It is mostly catalogue, drawings, and photos, but there is a pithy text too. There are also some very nice colour reconstructions at the back which sadly slip past almost without comment.<br>
