Roman/Medieval R Style |
Roman or Medieval "R" style fire steel. Based on originals found at archeological sites throughout the whole range of the Roman Empire. Because of the wide time range of Roman influence, it is hard to narrow the time frame for this style down to fewer than a couple hundred years. Originals of this style have been found with Roman artifacts from the 1st to 3rd century. Some variations of this style have been found at 5th century German castle ruins, and 14th century Indo-Persian collections. Originals are pictured in the Italian book FIRE STEEL by Gli Acciarini. This fire steel measures 2 3/8 by 1 1/8" by 1/8th inch thick. For someone recreating the kit of a Roman Legionaire or someone from the early Middle Ages.
