The picture in the book makes it look about 35-40 cm long and the "hilt" is very sword like but then the drawing of the wooden practice sica does not resemble the dimensions I have seen elsewhere. No doubt a picture will turn up !!<br>
<br>
Getting back to my Hoplo with two manica ( please excuse my lack of Latin grammar ) ... the picture I am refering to does not have him fighting a Thracian but a Myrmillo. The mosaic is a floor and has them in an arched background .. i cant seem to paste it here but if anyone wants to see it e-mail me directly on [email protected] and i will copy it to you.<br>
<br>
As our status as " gladiator " fans makes us interlopers on a sqauddie sight can we not go on the off subject bit ?<br>
