Spatha Images, Info, or Dimensions
Does anyone out there have any good dimensions, images, or stats on a later period roman (or romano-british) spatha?

Something that would see use between 300-600AD is along the lines of what I have in mind. I'm considering taking a stab at making one but I'm not finding much of a starting point in the resources I have handy.

Thanks!
I believe that the Sutton Hoo Sword fits in at the tail end of your specified period. Also, you should try to find a copy of The Sword in Anglo-Saxon England: Its Archaeology and Literature by Hilda Ellis Davidson.

For photo's, you can start with having a look at my museum photo pages from the British Museum:

Wow, thanks for the link to the museum photos. I've never seen this site before. It's great!
