Quote:These early Saxes of eastern origin are never double-edged.Or better: I don`t know a single double-edged piece

My mistake as the Pouan sax is parralel-sided but indeed single-edged.
Now see this article about Childeric burial and especially figure 6 with discussion of sassanian exemples. Looks like the latte could have been double-edged.

Be them single or double-edged the 5th century sax and latte seems likely candidates for the semispatha of Vegetius.
