Helmet provenance:<br>
I understand that the original published provenance of these is in fact Herculaneum. Junkelmann asserts that all the Herculaneum provenances are false and should really be Pompeii. He gives no really convincing reason to back up that assertion, however. Or do you perhaps have any more information on this?<br>
<br>
The thread:<br>
I believe that discussion of gladiatorial topics on this board is frowned upon since it is not regarded as "military".<br>
<br>
Translations:<br>
Regarding "Gladiateurs..." I would already be happy enough if someone just reprinted it!<br>
<br>
<br>
Also I take back what I said about the curving front end of the thracian sword. Looking through my sources again I find that I was mistaken in believing that blades of this form were particularly common. They did exist indeed, but never seem to have overshadowed the other forms (at least in the evidence that has come down to us).<br>
