The 1,600-Year-Old Skeleton Found Inside A Giant Roman Jar — And The Attack He May Have Been Hiding From
Iron knives in this period had multiple possible uses — they were tools as well as weapons.
A craftsman, a merchant, a soldier, or simply a citizen who had reason to be cautious might carry such objects.
In the context of a burning building during what appears to have been an attack, the presence of two knives has been interpreted by some commentators as suggesting the person was armed for self-defense.
But this interpretation should not be overstated.
The knives’ significance is contextual, not definitively indicative of the person’s role or intentions.
