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.

Great find, congrats guys!
Very cool!! A great " find " !!😊
no details on their metallurgical compositions?
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.
Im sorry but those are in auwul awful condition.
