For scale.
Looks like the handle is only about 5 cm long.

Word is that they were Roman swords stolen and hidden by judean rebels. Dated to the second revolt. That’s against Hadrian in about 135.

And with the stroke of a pen they rewrote history.
No more colonies.
If only they remembered to mention reparations for the descendants of the colonists 250 years later.

There could also be sex differences on propensity to review books online.
It would be interesting to see this normalized by total number of reviews by genre. You’d then see a relative lead among men in most of the non-fiction segments.
