Xiphos blade shapes?
#2
Yes,there certainly were. Not all the blades had the ridge so pronounced and some didn't have it at all. There are swords from Olympia that have a lense shaped cross section. Even when there was a ridge,often it "faded out" in the portion towards the tip where the blade was wider.
