7th-4th century BC. An iron dagger with lozenge-section leaf-shaped blade, double-lobed lower guard, rectangular grip and T-shaped pommel. See Cernenko, E.V., The Scythians, 700-300 BC London, 1983, p.29; Head, D., The Achaemenid Persian Army, Stockport, 1992; Gorelik, M., Weapons of Ancient East, IV millennium BC-IV century BC, Saint Petersburg, 2003, pl.9, nos.14-19. 316 grams, 32.5cm long (12 3/4"). From the late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister; from her collection formed early 1960s-1990s. This akinakes, the short sword of Iranian people, shows correspondence with swords from the Caucasus from 7th to 6th centuries, notably with a guard from a mound near a Steppe hut at Gudermes, with a dagger found in the Mineralvodsky burial ground, with another from a burial ground at the Sofronovsky spring near Kislovodsk, with a sword found in the Liysky burial ground, in South Ossetia and with other swords of the 6th century BC. Fair condition.
5th century AD. A double-edged spatha with parallel-sided iron blade and pointed tip, battle nicks to both cutting edges; the hilt and tang extending over the blade as a tight-fitting sleeve; accompanied by an oblate chalcedony pommel, five bronze scabbard guttering elements and a silver buckle for the suspension strap. See Dennis, G., Maurice’s Strategikon, handbook of Byzantine Military Strategy, University of Pennsylvania Press, 1984; Lebedinski, I., Armes et guerriers Barbares au temps des grandes invasions IVème au Vième siècle après J.C., Paris, 2001, p.118, for a similar example from Chapka-Tserkovnyi Kholm (Abkhazia); Kazanski, M., Mastykova, A., Tsibilium II, La nécropole apsile de Tsibilium, l’étude du site, BAR, 2007, see swords on pl.6, no.27 (Chapka-Cerkovnyj Holm), pl.13, no.14 (Anuhva); pl.23, no.17 (buckle"). 850 grams total, 3.2-92cm (1 1/4 - 36 1/4"). Acquired 1971-1972. Property of a London, UK, collector; from his father's collection. Accompanied by an archaeological report by military specialist Dr. Raffaele D’Amato. Accompanied by a positive metal test number 183791/HM1461 from an Oxford specialist. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.11086-183791. This sword belongs to the group of spathae of late Roman typology, widespread among the Germanic and Abkhazian foederati, and garrison troops of the Northern Black Sea and Caucasus. These swords could have been the prototypes of the Eastern Roman spathia, classified in the Strategikon of Pseudo-Mavrikios as Herouliskia (Herulian swords) for their connections with the Germanic mercenaries wearing them originally within the Roman army. [8, No Reserve] Fine condition.
Early 5th century AD. A double-edged iron spatha of Illerup-Wyhl typology, blade with damask-pattern, narrow parallel cutting edges tapering towards the point, part of the tang preserved. See Bishop, M.C. & Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 1993; Miks, C., Studien zur Romischen Schwertbewaffnung in der Kaiserzeit, I-II Banden, Rahden, 2007; D’Amato, R., Roman army Units in the Western Provinces, Oxford, 2019; for a very similar specimen see Miks, 2007, no.A536, 83 (Nydam"). 749 grams, 92cm long (36 1/4"). Acquired 1971-1972. Property of a London, UK, collector; from his father's collection. Accompanied by an expertise by military specialist Dr. Raffaele D’Amato. Accompanied by a positive metal test number HM1460 from an Oxford specialist. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.11113-183793. Rosette damask technique B.H.I.2.1-2. The iconographic sources indicate that Roman swords underwent significant changes in the later 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. Longer swords, more popular within Germanic and Celtic cultures, although more useful for fighting on horseback, were soon widespread among the infantrymen and widely produced in the Roman workshops, from which they were brought home by many foreigners after mercenary or auxiliary service in Roman army. This, together with the possibility of war booty, explains why a great number of these swords have been found in the territories of the so-called Barbaricum like Nydam Mose and Illerup Adal, modern Denmark. Dr. Miks refers to the spathae of the 'lllerup-Wyhl' type I as a large group of blades which in terms of their proportions, dimensions and shape, are probably a mixture of blades of the more classical 'Straubing-Nydam' and 'Lauriacum-Hromowka' types of long Roman swords. [No Reserve] Fine condition.
3rd century AD. An iron pugio military dagger with waisted leaf-shaped blade, rounded midrib, rectangular rivetted baluster, short grip with crescent pommel. See Bishop, M.C. & Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 1993; Kennedy, D., The twin towns of Zeugma on the Euphrates, Portsmouth, 1998; Ba?gelen N. & Ergeç, R., Belkis/Zeugma, Halfeti, Rumkale, a last look at history, Istanbul, 2000; Bishop M. C. & Coulston J.C.N., Roman military equipment from the Punic Wars to the fall of Rome, London, 2006; Feugère, M., ‘Roman militaria from Zeugma’, in Ergeç, R. (Ed.), International Symposium on Zeugma: from Past to Future, Gaziantep: 2006, 91-96; Ibañez, F.C., ‘Post Vestigium Exercitus.

Universidad de León-Ayuntamiento de León, León 2006, 257-308; Casprini, F., Saliola, M., Pugio gladius brevis est, storia e tecnologia del pugnale da guerra romano, Roma, 2012. 400 grams, 36.3cm long (14 1/4"). From the late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister; from her collection formed early 1960s-1990s. This dagger finds a good parallel with a similar item found in London (Bishop & Coulston, 2006, p.165, fig.104,1), in Copthall Court. The pugio appeared as a side weapon of the Roman legionary in the 2nd century BC. However, its full diffusion within the Roman army begun with Caesar and Augustus, where it appeared as the reserve weapon for the heavy infantryman. Usually worn on the left side of the body by the Milites Legionarii and on the right side for the non-commissioned officers and centurions, it was used as a lethal weapon in body-to-body combat, being considered a short sword (pugio gladius brevis est"). Its continued use during the 3rd century is demonstrated by the many finds of similar type in Britannia (England), Syria, Germania (Germany), Pannonia (Hungary, part of modern Austria and Croatia) and in the imperial provinces. In Kunzing no fewer than 51 blades and 29 sheaths of such weapons were found. Double-edged daggers of old pugio fashion are in particular archaeologically attested for the 3rd century AD, from Zeugma (Ba?gelen-Ergeç, 2000, p.22; Feugère, 2006, p.92; these iron specimens belonged to the soldiers of the IIII Legio Scytica here stationed; they were found in the 1992 excavation of the Dyonisos and Ariadne houses in chantier 12; s. Feugère, 2006, p.92 and Kennedy, 1998, p.135, fig.5.9, p.89;), Dura (Bishop-Coulston, 2006, p.164;), Sotopalacios and Iuliobriga (Ibá?ez, 2006, pp.294 ff), London and other localities of Rhine and Germany (Kunzing, Eining, Speyer, s. Bishop-Coulston, 1993, fig.95.1 - London- ; Coulston-Bishop, 2006, fig.104, 4-5: Eining, 6: Speyer, Balkans and Danubian Limes. Our specimen comes from a military outpost, probably from Britannia. These daggers usually had a length of 28cm, reaching a maximum size (scabbard included) of 40cm. Third century AD blades are usually longer and proportionally wider in comparison with the blades of the 1st-2nd century. Casprini and Saliola (2012, pp.22-23) have evidenced the main differences between these pugiones and the earlier ones: with bigger dimension of the blade, expansion of the leaf-shaped shape, stronger central rib (when present), straight shoulder, flat tang, bigger guard of C typology, and bilobate pommel. Fair condition.
11th-13th century AD. An Eastern Baltic iron axehead with triangular-section blade widening to a broad bevelled edge, socket with flange to the rear. Cf. Sedov, B.B., Finno-Ugri i Balti v Epokhi Srednevekovija, Moscow, 1987, pl.XC, item 27. 723 grams, 18cm (7"). Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. During this age, the axes were the favourite weapons of many Baltic people, including the Curonian army which included lightly armed soldiers who fought with spears, shields, fighting knives and axes. A heavily armed soldier could also carry a sword, a helmet, a shield, and a wide-bladed axe. [No Reserve] Very fine condition, professionally cleaned, conserved and restored.
