»…to boldly go where no man has gone before.«

More than 20 years ago a sword of the Early La Tène form was discovered in the river Cetina in Dalmatia in Croatia. The scabbard of the sword was decorated with a dragon pair and the chape clamps of the hearth-shaped chape ends were decorated with triskeles ending in the form of dragon’s heads with widely open beaks. The form of the sword suggests that it was produced in the workshops of Northern Italy and most probably brought across the Adriatic by the Celtic mercenaries employed by the Dionysius the Elder from Sicily.
