Re: Whence Grimm?

Before I forget, yesterday's Berlingske Tidende had an article on the
weapons deposit finds in the Vimose bog (0 - 200 CE) on Fyn: five
ring-pommeled swords (usually considered to a Sarmatian thing). The
researcher involved didn't say as much, but the angle of the article
was: Danes might have participated in the Marcomanni war we know
from "Gladiator". The understood premise is that this would have been
the first opportunity for people from this country to meet
Sarmatians. Unfortunately (this was news to me) the notes of the
excavators have been lost, and the finds are scattered all over
Europe, since a local priest sold out of them, so there is not much
of a chance to place the supposedly Sarmatian swords anywhere within
the given timeframe.
