2nd Century Roman Cavalry Swords Discovered in the Cotswolds

A rare and important find has been unearthed in the Cotswold District. Two Roman cavalry swords along with remnants of their wooden scabbards and fitments were discovered by Glenn Manning during a metal detectorist rally in the north of the Cotswolds. There was also a broken copper alloy bowl discovered with the weaponry.

    I find it it an impressive discovery regarding the spatha and one still has the scabbard !! Has it resisted so long because of it's high quality?

    Great that these finds have a secure context - oh wait, they don't do they....? But hey, everyone knows archaeologists are party poopers

    They weren't buried in the North of the Cotswolds. The Cotswolds didn't exist when those swords were buried.
