Delos Sword

[John M McDermott]

Does anyone know of any good pictures of the Delos sword? The one's I have seen are poor quality, grainy black and whites.

Does anyone know where the sword is?

This is a damn good question and deserves some attention :x

There must be some one out there who knows ?

Hi,

The sword is in the museum at Delos itself.

Here is a picture:


Sorry if the quality isn't sufficient.

Thanks Hansvl. Does the museum publish or give out any information about it?

Well, I didn't buy a catalogue, but the way it was displayed, tucked away with tens of other items with little or no comment on a label, I think the museum wouldn't have even bothered to put it in a catalogue.

There is a nice line drawing (back and front) of the sword in B&C 1 (page 53) with a excellent description. In B&C 2 there is only a (smaller) drawing of the front (or back as you wish).
