The sword reconstructed by Junkelmann is'nt the Delos one. It's a very good reconstruction of another hispaniensis, the Fontillet (Cher) one, presrved in Berry Museum (France) and probably of Cesarian or early augustean date.
It's curious, because a lot of swords with a opus interrasile scabbard are classified as Mainz but have a long blade very close to the hispaniensis shape.
I remember one at Museum Mainz, the Kalkriese one, etc.
