If someone could provide me the following reference, I would be very grateful (I don't have access to it in my university library): James Simon, 'The point of the sword: what Roman-era weapons could do to bodies—and why they often didn't', (2010) in eds A.W. Busch and H.J. Schalles, Waffen in Aktion. Akten der 16. Internationalen Roman Military Equipment Conference (ROMEC). Xantener Berichte 16, 41-54.

It's Simon James, actually. It looks, from the contents of the book, as if there may be other papers in it that may interest you:

I don't know where you are but, if you are in the UK, the British Library has a copy of the book, so you may be able to borrow it through the Inter-Library Loans Service.
