Has your sword been published yet? If it has not, PLEASE make sure that you get to to someone who knows enough about Roman swords to publish it properly. A sword like this needs to be in the public record so that it can be compared to other swords, and that means it needs to be in a journal or archaeological report where it will be easily accessable. Not everyone has access to or knowledge of RAT.

If you do not know of a suitable publication or specialist, try getting in touch either with Christian Miks or with Mike Bishop, both of whom I am sure would be only to pleased to help you out with the relevant information.

Right, also because I love to share my informations with everybody who want, but ... how to contact them? I normally have a fair conversation with Mike Thomas (indeed an agreable person ) , but I don't know Miks and Bishop.
Perhaps I can ask M.T.
