Valladolid Museum. This month, the museum highlights a Simancas-style dagger, made of iron and bronze in the 4th century AD, from San Miguel del Arroyo.

Excavations in the late Roman cemetery of Simancas, in the mid-1930s, revealed a peculiar type of knife with a sheath, which is known in archaeological literature by the name of this site.

The knife's blade is made of iron and has a single curved edge that describes an S-shape, which is evident on the outside of the sheath. The edge also usually has a characteristic notch at the top.

Although these daggers were thought to have a military nature, for hand-to-hand combat, today they are considered to have been used more for hunting.

The guided tour of the piece of the month will be on September 5th at 12:00 noon.

Free activity, no reservation required.
