A slightly different picture: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14235989...35772/rpage/1/ . The reference to 500 tiny golden rings suggests golden mail armor, definitely more in the nature of royal regalia.

Hello,
Not wishing to hijack this thread, but would this knife http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=007 advertised as a thracian machaira be a valid example of thracian weaponry? Does it even look like a machaira? To me it sort of looks like the small shafra knives, and there is something middle-eastern about it...recalls the kurdish jambiya... I will be in Romania next week, and I will see what museums there have on the Thrace. Emanuel |

![]() I have heard that the Military Museum in Bucharest is superb, and I am sure there are plenty of interesting weapons and militaria there, from the Dacians to WW2, but I am sure our Romanian friends will be able to guide you. |
