The blade looks to be in remarkable condition and I think that is one of the best examples of a full tang.
Is that the pommel nut on top? The picture ends right there, so it might be deceiving.
I would be interested in the metallurgical disposition of the blade, though I am not sure if that has been done or will be done. Does anyone know?
I find it that it is interesting that Legio IIII would be tasked/responsible for border patrol/security responsibilities. I would think that the local auxiliaries would normally be tasked with this mission.
Another fine example of the flexibility of the Legio perhaps? I did a quick scan through Spaul, and I could not find any auxiliary units with a name close to IIII Scythica in that part of the world.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Mike
