According to the paperwork related to the object, the archaeological context of the sword hasn’t been specified but is classified as a chance find from the necropolis of the city. The analysis of the sword is based on its typological features but also the historical, the archaeological and ethnological aspects of the region had been taken into consideration. The most significant feature of the blade is of course the bending. This feature led us to correlate the examined object with the Celts, who practiced this ritual of ‘’killing’’ a weapon. This seems to be the first folded sword which has been found in the territory of the modern-day Albania.

The sword was found in the grave n. 72, which is dated in the 2nd-3rd c. A.D. The sword belongs to the ring-pommel typology with a cross-guard. The paper deals with the typological analysis of the sword, which lead us also to export some vital conclusions about the origin of the sword. The special constructive structure of the hilt leads us to connect the ring-pommeled sword with the roman manufacture tradition.

settlement of Aphrodisias, Asia Minor. The study is focused on the typological features of the sword since its
archaeological context hasn’t been specifi ed. The analysis revealed that this sword can be paralleled with the
Chinese two-handed long swords of the Han Dynasty. These swords can be traced also in the Parthian Empire
as well, but they haven’t been found in the territories which once formed the Roman Empire and previously the
Hellenistic Kingdoms of the Successors of Alexander the Great. So, the sword from Aphrodisias is very rare
and unique for the Roman and Hellenistic World of the time because it’s probably the sole example of such
Chinese long swords, dated in the Han Period, to be traced in the West end of the Silk Road.

Ages. According to the museum staff, the sword with exhibition number Hofjäger- und Rüstkammer, A
2035, was found in 1915 on the Bersaglio hill near Monte Gello (village S. Biaggio) east of Rovereto in
Italy, at a depth of 1.75 m. The study of the sword focuses on the analysis of the typological features. The
criteria for distinguishing particular types of pommels, blades and crossguards should be such as to aid in
the chronological determination of a sword. A first attempt to classify the sword is made using Oakeshott's
well-known typological system classification. However, it seemed very difficult to categorize the sword
strictly according to a certain typological scheme, analyzed the pommel, crossguard and blade. Finally, the
image sources were used to find analogies. Hence, we concluded that the sword could be more associated
with Byzantine military manufacture than with Western typologies.
10th and 11th century, period of the mass employment of Norse mercenaries in the renowned regiment
of the Byzantine army, through mainly the archaeological evidence. An attempt is also conducted
to organize the material taking into consideration the geographic distribution of the fi ndings in the
Eastern Europe and Asia Minor.
The analysis of diff erent types of swords, which could lead us to useful conclusions, is based on
morphological criteria concerning the structure of a sword, such as the pommel and the cross-guard.
The variety of the swords that have been used by the soldiers of the Varangian regiment indicates that
a certain sword typology might not be attributed exclusively to a certain ethnicity. In any case the
study of the sword typologies in the byzantine army constitutes an attractive fi eld of further research

This video conference took place on November 18, 2022 in Izmir, Turkey with an archaeological excursion to the sites and museums within the city of Izmir on November 19. All the lectures and discussions in our e-conference were on Zoom and in English, and were recorded for later viewing on YouTube for participants who were unable to attend the live performance presentation. The symposium was first announced in May 2022. Between May and September 2022 there were more than ten paper applications from six countries, including – in alphabetical order – Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Russia, Turkey and U.S.A., ten of which were accepted. Three speakers held their lectures both physically in Izmir and virtually on Zoom; the rest of the papers were presented on Zoom. Session 1 was organized in the Main Conference Hall of the Faculty of Letters in Tınaztepe Campus (in Block C), and Session 2 was organized in the office of Professor Laflı. This book was arranged mainly in November 2022 where papers were placed in order by speakers’ turns at the conference. It was constantly being updated in its online version on our Academia account. It is also published by the Press House of the Dokuz Eylül University in December 2022.
This first symposium on the archaeology of western Anatolia is dedicated to the 20th death anniversary of Professor Ekrem Akurgal, founder of modern Turkish archaeology, who passed away on November 1st, 2002.
ISBN for this book: 978-625-00-1043-3.

This video conference took place on November 18, 2022 in Izmir, Turkey with an archaeological excursion to the sites and museums within the city of Izmir on November 19. All the lectures and discussions in our e-conference were on Zoom and in English, and were recorded for later viewing on YouTube for participants who were unable to attend the live performance presentation. The symposium was first announced in May 2022. Between May and September 2022 there were more than ten paper applications from six countries, including – in alphabetical order – Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Russia, Turkey and U.S.A., ten of which were accepted. Three speakers held their lectures both physically in Izmir and virtually on Zoom; the rest of the papers were presented on Zoom. Session 1 was organized in the Main Conference Hall of the Faculty of Letters in Tınaztepe Campus (in Block C), and Session 2 was organized in the office of Professor Laflı. This book was arranged mainly in November 2022 where papers were placed in order by speakers’ turns at the conference. It was constantly being updated in its online version on our Academia account. It is also published by the Press House of the Dokuz Eylül University in December 2022.
This first symposium on the archaeology of western Anatolia is dedicated to the 20th death anniversary of Professor Ekrem Akurgal, founder of modern Turkish archaeology, who passed away on November 1st, 2002.
