Delos Sword
#4
Looks a lot like a modified spatha to me! Could this be an intermediate type, signaling the transition to the longer blade in infantry? Any solid dating on the Delos find?? It's quoted as BC, but the longer blades only showed up after 1 cent. AD. Personal preference or re-use of a good blade modified after losing the point of a spatha? Puzzling find!
