Which one is the Beroia xiphos? Is it the one Connolly depicts in Greece and Rome at War?
When i visited Beroia unfortunately the museum was closed for restoration.
However i have seen many greek swords found in Macedonia,including those from Vergina,Derveni and Sindos. Perhaps i can be of help,because i have tried to identify the different hilt construction tecniques.
