Celtic
and Germanic weapons |
 |
During the bronze age, having a metallic weapon was a sure sign of power and wealth. This antennae sword - name due to the strange form of the hilt - has a typical shape of the beginning of the first millenary BC. It was also used by the villanovian warriors - a civilisation which gave birth to the etruscan one later. Total length 95cm, weigth 2.8kg. Made of cast bronze (not brass). |
|
At the beginning,
hilt and blade were cast separatedly, and were fixed together by some
rivits. Later, all the sword was cast in a piece, but the rivits remained,
as a decoration. The shape of the blade is also typical in our reproduction:
it gains on weight, and allow the warrior to use it more easily -
and more deadly. |

This is with this
kind of weapon than the celtic warriors fighted Caesar's legions. The
scabbard is made of iron, and the hilt is in wood. |
