New Republican gladius based on Kalkriese
#9
Wow, John, I thought I hated you before, but now I'm sure of it! Just kidding of course, it's all jealousy. FABULOUS piece. As soon as I saw pictures of those parts from Kalkriese, I was struck by how similar they are to a hispaniensis scabbard from Giubiasco (JRMES v. 8, p. 51). Might have been a hispaniensis blade in the Kalkriese scabbard, too, but any guess is as good as any other!

I'm drooling over that other scabbard, too, though not for the first time.

Congrats!
