Romans
I live on Hadrian's Wall and travel half its length two or three times a week but I've never found any swords.
Some folk have all the luck. Thanks Fernando. |

No pawing over old maps of garrison sites and potential conflict zones, followed by long discreet metal detector walks.... I always smile when I hear Hadrian mentioned, my mind floats back to Fawlty Towers and O'Reilly. Last edited by Gavin Nugent; 7th September 2023 at 09:35 AM. |

Some (freelance) strategy is to keep updated with new archelogical sites and their perimeters and scan the ground close from their boundaries; before findings pop up in 'breaking news' and site perimeters are extended.

And now we have Matt Easton of Scholargladatoria weighing in with a very interesting analysis of why they are likely to be locally manufactured Jewish swords. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvYMCtp4G6g
