NOTES: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
specimens n. 4 and 33: |
possible celtiberian manufacture; |
|
|
|
|||||
specimen n. 26: |
uncommon handle, perhaps not original but afterwards fitted; |
||||||||
specimens n. 30 and 55: |
the handle, the guard and blade let us suppose these specimens could be deriving from a |
||||||||
|
|
re-utilization of a damaged gladius; |
|
|
|
||||
specimen n. 205: |
the very uncommon handle let be doubtful the classification as a pugio; |
||||||||
specimen n. n.c.1: |
not original guard. |
