 |
|
Does anyone out there have any good dimensions, images, or stats on a later period roman (or romano-british) spatha?
Something that would see use between 300-600AD is along the lines of what I have in mind. I'm considering taking a stab at making one but I'm not finding much of a starting point in the resources I have handy.
Thanks!

I believe that the Sutton Hoo Sword fits in at the tail end of your specified period. Also, you should try to find a copy of The Sword in Anglo-Saxon England: Its Archaeology and Literature by Hilda Ellis Davidson.
