Hi all,
does anybody know of pictures or sources for the pugio found near Melun in the late 60s (I think it was)?
I have
-M. Petit. Notes sur un poignard romain du musee de Melun. 1973/74.
-Jürgen Obmann. Studien zu römischen Dolchscheiden des 1. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. 1990.
Only drawings in there, unfortunately no photographs, and I would like to see the real thing ...
Thanks in advance for any help,
Martin

ooops, just realized that for some no-brain reason I posted this here instead of in the Roman Military History & Archaeology forum :-P P - maybe a kind moderator could move this?
Thanks,
Martin

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.

Martin,
Do you mean the pugio found at Mehrum. If so I too have drawings of it but no photograph. Mike Bishop may be able to help.

No, I don't think thats the one (where is Mehrum?), I mean a
"poignard de fer, decouvert dans la Seine, a Melun, lors <<des fouilles du Grand Pont>> en 1869"
It's a pugio in its sheath, most of the handle is missing.
cheers,
Martin

I do not have any pictures, but the book of Obmann gives a good drawing. I have reconstruted the melun iron plate and am currently trying to fill the engravings with silver.
I will try to send you a picture soon,

Hi Maarten,
thanks for letting me know. I have the Obmann book as well as the original publication (see above), but would like to get a glimpse of the real thing. I tried to contact the museum, but never received an answer unfortunately. Looking forward to see your reconstruction!

I've tried several times to get a message and picture of the Melun plate on to the forum, but am constantly (after half a minute) thrown out (pagina verlopen). Can anyone give me advice how to stop being thrown out?
