Roman — Roman
Knife
Iron knife, complete. The back is slightly convex, following the line of handle and falling to the tip; edge stepped down from the handle, very sinuous in outline, probably due to wear, rising to the tip; the handle, now bent, is rectangular in section, changing to a circular section near the terminal, probably intended for a wooden handle. The knife is longer than is usual for this form and may have been used as a cleaver.
