Product description

Dura Europos was a fortified city founded around 303 BC on the bank of the Euphrates River (in present-day Syria). Romans conquered it around 165 AD. A lively crossroads where different cultures of the Roman Empire met, the site has yielded several places of worship. Excavations in the 1920s recovered many murals and archaeological objects. The scabbard of this dagger is based on fragments found at Dura Europos. The dagger itself has not survived, so the replica is based on European originals from the 3rd century AD. Clearly late Roman in character, the knife no longer resembles the pugio — it is closer to knives from the Migration Period. Made from EN45 spring steel, it is semi-sharp. A great piece for Roman history enthusiasts, collectors, and reenactors.
