I currently have a Pompeii Gladius and would like to acquire a Mainz and a Fulham to sort of complete my collection. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the ratio of these weapons were in the early to mid first century. Do I have to buy 4 or 5 more Pompeiis before I can get a Mainz or a Fulham? I don't want my collection to be disproportionate to the actual historical period. What if I buy only one of each when in a real Roman Legion of this time you might see dozens of Pompeii before running across one of the older styles.
This could get really expensive buying all these extra swords I don't really need in order to represent all three types. But I don't want my collection being ridiculed as inaccurate.
Does anyone have any ideas what I should do?
Thanks.
