Its rich decoration and the use of precious metals have given it legendary status, which has been enhanced by a scarcity of literary sources and the lack of a clear explanation of its function or the specific use soldiers made of it. This work tries to fill this gap, basing its finds exclusively on undisputed data and sources. This study of the pugio takes us through the history and evolution of the Roman army itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marco Saliola,Fabrizio Casprini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407309996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSaliola, Marco:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Marco Saliola and Fabrizio Casprini\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321902100595,"sku":"9781407309996","price":90.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_e5a7b1f9-9347-42b6-8904-b60a9b231381.jpg?v=1771506496","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/pugio-gladius-brevis-est-history-and-technology-of-the-roman-battle-dagger-9781407309996","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
