Inkrustowane miecze rzymskie z Barbaricum i obszarów przylimesowych Imperium Romanum. Wybrane zagadnienia Inlaid Roman Swords from Barbaricum and Limes Territories Areas of Imperium Romanum. Chosen Problems
Authors discuss the group of swords of Roman origin the blade of which
were inlaid with bronze, copper or brass with symbols understood exclusively in
the context or religious and cultural changes of Imperium Romanum. The majority
of these findings come from Barbaricum (Fig. 1). The set of motifs inlaid on blade is relatively poor and is limited to three
groups of symbols (Fig. 6-8). The first one includes figural representations of
Roman Gods connected with fighting, victory, purification and reversal of Evil
(Mars, Victoria, Minerva). In the second group there are signa militaria in
literal meaning (the eagle - the sign of the legion which is accompanied by
emblems of smaller organizational units of the legion), the third group
consists of images being the symbols of triumph (ornamenta/insignia/triumphalia):
laurel wreath and palm of victory. The palmette of Piaski (Fig. 6, 6 b)
being the stylized motif of the palm of victory and in such a shape as it is met
on shields of Roman legionaries was included among the third group.
The stylistics of inlaid works indicates on two lines of plastic solution of
the symbol: realistic and schematic convention. In case of figural representation
(Mars, Victoria) we face here "static" and "dynamic" canon of the presentation
of the figure. The "static" canon is clearly related to realistic convention
while the "dynamic" canon to the schematic one.
