Other specimens, without scabbard, are from Chieti and Campli, near the border with the Marche. Two of them, perhaps of local origin, retain the scabbard of bronze plate, like two from Montorio al Vomano. Indeed, in addition to copies of the Marsicano, there are seven specimens in the Museum of Chieti. This kind of sword with "grip-tongue" had to meet great favor everywhere. ![]() The oldest type is dated to the end of the second millennium and find paragons with Mycenaean swords the latest examples are placed among two millenia. What are called " grip-tongue with flanges" (the swords with grip-tongue for tang have a metal body that finished with a singular shape (tongue) where are fixed the parts of the hand-grip, made with bone or wood or other materials - " Editor's note") are attributable to proto-Villanovan groups. A series of knives with an elegant curved blade is attributed to Protovillanovan.Īmong the examined bronzes there are also six swords. The marsican Ortucchio gives its name to a particular shape of knife with a thin and straight blade that is dated to the final Bronze Age (XI-IX century b.C.).

Important is what tells us the "Capestrano Warrior", or the rare bronzes preserved in museums all over Europe. Noteworthy are also the finds of grave goods from the necropolis as "Campo Consolino" ad Alfedena or the "Traccole" in Pietrabbondante. They may also be used as common spells.Descriptions of offence and defence weapons adopted by the Sabellian people and particularly by Samnites, come from the few literary sources of annals as Livy, or from novelists such as Pliny the Elder and a few others, but also from the frescoes found in the Caudinans and Hirpinans areas, as well as the extant walls paintings from chamber tombs in the northern Lucania.
