<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numisnewbiest, post: 3703549, member: 99613&quot;]Since this thread is here, I thought I&#039;d ask a question regarding ancient weapons. I have no experience or knowledge at all about dating, styles, cultures, etc, as far as weaponry goes, but I am interested in an ancient bronze battle axe.</p><p><br /></p><p>To my untrained eye, it looks authentically ancient, so I don&#039;t question that part. What I wonder about is the stated age for it. It is said to be an &quot;early type&quot; bronze battle axe, 13.2 cm long, dated between 2000-3000 BC - is there something in the style that can conclusively say it is from that period? I&#039;ve seen Viking-age battle axes, too, and they look about the same to my unschooled self, so that&#039;s a pretty big spread in time periods.</p><p><br /></p><p>If not from the stated time period, what is a better estimate, and how would you arrive at that conclusion? Thanks very much to anyone who can help.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]992765[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
