Yes, dear Vandoo.
Article in English. It is published in the journal: Armi Antiche. I think in the near future article will be available. I myself have not yet received the author's copy of the journal Armi Antiche with my article ![]() |

Vandoo,
I read it in Russian. As usual, Mahratt presented very impressive factual description of specimens and Internet pictures. However, the final conclusion is flawed: during 15-19 centuries rostra might have been used as fighting implements by some primitive island societies, but were not true weapons in the Indo-Persian areal or in Europe. They might have served there as processional, decorative, votive or parade curiosities, but the above areas left not only the Stone but even the Bronze Age well behind them. As I mentioned in an earlier post here, discussing their fighting role is as productive as deliberating about military history of General Tso's Chicken. I cannot tell you whether in the "Italian" version of the article this obvious error was stemming from a faulty judgement or from poor translation. Hopefully, the latter. |

Vandoo,
dear Ariel, has recently "short memory" (do not know what it is connected) ![]() In 2014 (when the article was published in Russian, and I placed it on a Russian forum) Ariel wrote: "Very good article: Unfolded, sober and indisputable examples." This can be confirmed by those participants in the forum who also speak Russian (as Ariel). And they are here in the forum ![]() post 284: http://forum.guns.ru/forummessage/79/1077965-12.html So I propose to await the release of the magazine (it will appear in September). Then the one who reads my article, be able to make on the article his personal opinion ![]() |
