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? shock:
Cheers,
Jesper
