Żelazne akinakesy ze zbiorów Muzeum Narodowego Ziemi Przemyskiej

Abstract

The National Museum of Przemyśl District houses three iron acinaces of unknown origin. The very good state of preservation of all three items allowed for a full formal and typological analysis. It was revealed that all three specimens represent forms that are dated to the 7 th –6 th centuries BC. Although these objects come from unknown contexts, they expand the source base of Scythian military artefacts, making them an excellent source for further detailed morphological and technological analyses of Scythian swords and daggers.
