Resumen

El presente artículo examina una espada fechada en el Período La Tène, actualmente exhibida en el Museo Arqueológico de Durrës, Albania. Según el personal científico del Museo no se ha precisado el contexto arqueológico de la espada, pero la hoja habría sido encontrada en la necrópolis de la ciudad. El análisis de la espada se basa en sus características tipológicas, pero también se han tenido en cuenta los aspectos históricos, arqueológicos y etnológicos de la región. La característica más significativa de la hoja es, por supuesto, la flexión. Esta característica nos llevó a correlacionar el objeto examinado con los celtas, quienes practicaban este ritual de “matar” un arma. Esta es la primera espada doblada que se encontró en el territorio de la actual Albania.
