Something interesting is on this statue it is on a baldric. I dont think I have seen another where it is. But I have not done a systomatic search. Also where these functional and can you buy reproductions?

I always picture the parazonium with the Eagle hilt! Is it also with a regular hilt?

Looking at all the image I have just now only 1 had the eagles head. Most were broken right there so you could not tell. But two or three were like the one on the bronze statue.

Seen the statue of the Four, the co-emperors and their Caesars? I think they all have the eagle hilts, but my memory could be playing up, again! :? (

Well could be on that one but it seems there was a variety of designs. That was my only pointSmile

It's modern, it's overlooking the Forum of Caesar in Rome.
Quote:I always picture the parazonium with the Eagle hilt! Is it also with a regular hilt?
Yes.
Quote:Seen the statue of the Four, the co-emperors and their Caesars? I think they all have the eagle hilts
Yes.

And remember that the actual example in Athens is dated to the 4th or 3rd centuries BC, while the Tetrarchs are ca. 300 AD. But there's quite a bit of difference in shape (At least in the sheath), besides simply the eagle head.
