Mmm,
Do we have any mid Byzantine archaeological examples of say a winged hunting spear. I imagine that would be the closest thing to use for the sharp end of the menaulion.
Have a look at this chinese warrior. He has a similar circular thing. This looks like extra protection for byzantine warrior at the area where the gap between kabadion and klibanos may present a problem.
