Sources for gladius hilt materials
#4
Hey!
Thanks for replying.
It was a question not a statement!! :mrgreen: I take most of these hilts are from imperial times? Do you guys know if there are any photos of the surviving hilts online?

I can picture how a metal hilt would behave in battles in wet weather.... flying gladii everywhere :roll:
Well at least gladius hispaniensis...assuming they were used more for slashing than most gladii.

Did they know how to impregnate leather in roman times? Smile shock:

Cheers,
Jesper
