(Image credit: Errikos Maniotis) Archaeologists in Greece have discovered a 1,600-year-old iron sword that was folded in a ritual killing before being interred in the grave of a soldier who served in the Roman imperial army. The discovery of the folded sword was astonishing, because the soldier was buried in an early church, but folded sword was part of a known pagan ritual, said project co-researcher Errikos Maniotis, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Byzantine Archaeology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece.

Anyone who has ever marveled at the ingenuity of a folding umbrella, a folding chair or a folding bicycle might think a folded sword offered a similar compactness and convenience to the soldier who carried one. Sadly, the mysterious soldier who carried a recently discovered folded sword wouldn’t have been able to use it – the sword was placed in his grave after his death. Moreover, convenience wasn’t the purpose of this particular folded sword. “The sword was deliberately folded, not broken.” Archaeologist Melina Paisidou presented her findings on this unusual sword at the recent 33rd Archaeological Conference for the excavations in Macedonia and Thrace. It came from a tomb in the Basilica of Thessaloniki – the second-largest city in Greece.
