There are many great publications of Germanic, British, and Celtic spears. Are there any published spears from the imperium Romanum, especially the eastern half? Or from pre-imperial Italy? My copy of the report from Dura Europos is not with me.
If you want the bibliography for pre-Roman barbaricum:
Germanic: I don't know the best publications of Nydam and Hjortspring
Celtic:
Rapin, Gournay II (my copy is in the post)
British:

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
