Salvete omnes!
I was wondering how long were the longest pugio blades found? The later blades (3th century "Künzing hoard" for example) seemed to be longer than the ones in the previous centuries. So are there examples over 30 cm blades etc? Then again when a waisted pugio blade is long enough to be a Mainz style gladius :wink: ?!
