The team developed content for selected objects at the Higgins Armory Museum. QR codes installed next to these artifacts allow visitors to access a variety of minigames and fact pages using their mobile devices. Facts for the object are selected randomly from a pool, making the experience different each time the code is scanned, and the pool adapts based on artifacts visited, personalizing the experience. 2 Contents Contents........................................................................................................................... 3 Figures..............................................................................................................................6 Introduction ……………………………………………......................................................... 9 Double Edged Swords In Europe………………………………………………………...21 The European Bronze Age Sword……………………………………………….21 Ancient edged weapons prior to the Bronze Age………………………..21 Uses of European Bronze Age swords, general trends, and common innovations

  • Nicholas Victor Sekunda the SARISSA
    ACTA UNI VERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA ARCHAEOLOGICA 23, 2001 Nicholas Victor Sekunda THE SARISSA INTRODUCTION Recent years have seen renewed interest in Philip and Alexander, not least in the sphere of military affairs. The most complete discussion of the sarissa, or pike, the standard weapon of Macedonian footsoldiers from the reign of Philip onwards, is that of Lammert. Lammert collects the ancient literary evidence and there is little one can disagree with in his discussion of the nature and use of the sarissa. The ancient texts, however, concentrate on the most remarkable feature of the weapon - its great length. Unfor- tunately several details of the weapon remain unclear. More recent discussions o f the weapon have tried to resolve these problems, but I find myself unable to agree with many of the solutions proposed. The purpose of this article is to suggest some alternative possibilities using further ancient literary evidence and also comparisons with pikes used in other periods of history. 1 do not intend to cover those aspects of the sarissa already dealt with satisfactorily by Lammert and his predecessors'. THE PIKE-HEAD Although the length of the pike is the most striking feature of the weapon, it is not the sole distinguishing characteristic. What also distinguishes a pike from a common spear is the nature of the head. Most spears have a relatively broad head designed to open a wide flesh wound and to sever blood vessels. 1 hey are usually used to strike at the unprotected parts of an opponent’s body. The pike, on the other hand, is designed to penetrate body defences such as shields or armour.

  • Knightly Arms — Plebeian Arms
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Quaestiones Medii Aevi Novae, 4 (1999), S. 21-43 Zdzislaw Zygulski Jr. Cracow Knightly Arms — Plebeian Arms The science dealing with the arms of the past — Waffenkunde, hoplology — developed during the second half of the nineteenth century and was continued in assorted environments in the course of the following century. This was by no means an academic science, and did not form part of university curricula. Its institutional basis was composed primarily of museums displaying arms, specialised scientific societies or associations of lovers of old arms, whose members included collectors and amateurs. This state of things is retained up to this day. Ultimately, there came into being two schools of historical studies concerning arms: German-language, concentrating German and Austrian experts, chiefly in Berlin, Dresden, Munich and Vienna, and English-lan­ guage, i. e. British and American, especially in London and New York. Less significant centres are located in France (the Parisian Musde de l’Armde), Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Central and Eastern Europe: Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Russia. Systematic research was initiated by work on “great inventories ” of preserved collections of arms from past epochs: antiquity, the Middle Ages and the modern era, shifting the term “old arms” in time. In the first place, the investigations dealt with typology and terminology, leading to the appearance of lexicons, a field in which pride of place went, once again, to the Germans and the English1. Bashford Dean, an outstanding American expert on arms, and a naturalist by training, was convinced that types of arms evolve, similarly to plants or animals, and could be arranged in genetical sequences; consequently, he constructed typological tables2.

    THE COLLECTION OF RENAISSANCE MILITARY ARTS AND EXERCISES OF PIETRO MONTE A TRANSLATION OF THE EXERCITIORUM ATQUE ARTIS MILITARIS COLLECTANEA BY MIKE PRENDERGAST AND INGRID SPERBER THE COLLECTION OF RENAISSANCE MILITARY ARTS AND EXERCISES OF PIETRO MONTE Translation © 2018 Mike Prendergast Translation by Mike Prendergast and Dr. Ingrid Sperber. This translation is freely available for non-commercial use. THE TRANSLATORS MIKE PRENDERGAST Mike Prendergast has been researching, practising and teaching historical strategy and martial arts since 1999. His main focus is on the art of fencing of Renaissance Italy. Initially studying Bolognese fencing, he moved to specialise in the system of Fiore dei Liberi (c. 1410) and the rapier style of Nicoletto Giganti (1606), before embarking on his study of Monte. Having initially started with Japanese martial arts, Mike discovered historical European fencing through the international medievalist group, the Society for Creative Anachronism, where he has received the society's highest award for research, the Laurel. In 2015 he was appointed one of the three premier Masters of Defence for the European branch of the society. Mike instructs in rapier and longsword with SCA Dun in Mara and interprets and teaches the martial arts of Pietro Monte, as chief instructor with the Historical Combat Academy, in Dublin, Ireland. He also teaches internationally at Historical European Martial Arts events and hosted the 2015 International Rapier Seminar. Mike competes internationally in tournaments and has taken medals in a variety of weapon forms including gold in rapier and sword & buckler. He also trained for several years in Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu, the traditional Japanese style of swordsmanship founded by the famous duellist and strategist Miyamoto Musashi.
