Ancient Gladius Amulet!
« on: February 19, 2017, 03:12:19 pm »
Dear all,
what do you think about this gladius? Do you have an idea about the century it was made (I-IV)?

Best regards,
Marcelo Leal.

I have never been able to find out much about them.  No one seems to know what they are.  While they are also called pugio (dagger) amulets they have also been called drawer handles and other things.  They are likely Roman but beyond 1st - 4th c ????
