<br>
It appears that my IIRC should have been IIRI (If I Recall Incorrectly!) Thanks for putting me straight.<br>
<br>
Your comments on it being a roasting spit are interesting and not without merit, not knwoing anything about the piece out of the context of the BM gladiator expo I suppose it could be just about anything that is pointy ... an early magic wand perhaps.<br>
<br>
I do not have the osprey book to hand, what does the book place it as, if you let me know I will write to the author and ask his sources.<br>
<br>
Finally, in our fights with the 'roasting spit' epee it is very hard to fight against because if the speed the person can attack with it, the fact that face guards almost invite the blade into the face etc ... a very daunting piece of kitchen cutlery to come up against, this maybe a reason that spartacus did so well.<br>

PS: Just to let this gladiator thread ride in the reviews forum, can we try and relate things back to the book in our threads. Ta! <p></p><i></i>
Kind regards

Graham
