diplodocus is a well known historical figure, he even has his own web page at wikipedia HERE

the remaining factoids were taken from other reputable web sources and combined in the light of the diplodocusian translation in the honourable tradition of ebay item descriptions for ethnic antiquities and were intended for guidance if you desire to resell the item later after stabilization.

having taken three years of latin, i did the translation from the original text myself. working with mouldy scrolls reconstructed from powdered papyrus ash is not easy.

original text: the first two words are a good search key for further wikipedia references to this important work.

It has arrived, hand forged with high carbon content (I did a 'spark test' on the tang) I was surprised that the tang was hardened. Looks old, probably a blacksmith creation. Still very sharp although has not been honed in a very long time. The weight of the 'spearhead' is too low to make a 'balanced' spear. So Asparagus Knife it is.
I have added a period wood handle......so now I can declare war on all asparagus ....and those 'pesky' Asparagii, whom never run from a fight and are recognisable by their dirty ankles
