I'd like to post a question. Do we have much evidence for the paramerion? I am aware of the literary sources, the illuminated manuscript depicting Nikephoros Phokas and a steatite with what looks like a paramerion. Has anyone studied this in great detail?
Ooops, apologies for returning to the original question in this thread but I've onlyy recently stumbled upon this section :oops:
I've recently joined Timothy Dawsons Palace Company here in the UK, after years of slumming it as a 5th century Germanic :wink:
Timothy will hopefully soon be adding a short vid on Youtube via a link on the Palace Company web site, showing him using techniques with a Paramerion on me, a lowly Balkan Slav during a gig at Rufford park in July 2007
Should be interesting to see as I think he was actually using two swords at one point. Unfortunately I cannot give you any more details than that. The vid may have been up sooner but Chris wanted to do a voice over by Timothy which will take time to sort out.
Will keep you all posted when it is near completion.
Cheers
Kuura/Jools Sleap.
