And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Bronze sword with gold hilt from grave Delta in Grave Circle B at Mycenae, 16th/15th c. BC
Weight depends very much on how long the and thick the blade was when it was cast. As for the gold. It depends greatly on whether or not it is solid.---Ray
I wonder what it weighed?
ReplyDeleteIt is probable that the hilt is bronze on the inside, and gold on the outside. That is how many ancient weapons were made.
