It looks more like a sub-Roman design (I saw something like it in the Natl Museum in Dublin a couple years ago), or one of the later semispathae. Not really what '2nd century' conjures up. But the metal seems nice. Does anyone know if the originals are pattern-welded?

edit: duh, that's what he calls it (memo to self: read the text and not just look at the pretty pictures). Evidently the seller knows what he is doing.
