V originále

This article focuses on the study of swords, which the Varangian Guard, typically used during the 10th and 11th century, period of the mass employment of Norse mercenaries in the renowned regiment of the Byzantine army, through mainly the archaeological evidence. An attempt is also conducted to organize the material taking into consideration the geographic distribution of the ﬁndings in theEastern Europe and Asia Minor.The analysis of dierent types of swords, which could lead us to useful conclusions, is based on morphological criteria concerning the structure of a sword, such as the pommel and the cross-guard.The variety of the swords that have been used by the soldiers of the Varangian regiment indicates that a certain sword typology might not be attributed exclusively to a certain ethnicity. In any case the study of the sword typologies in the byzantine army constitutes an attractive ﬁeld of further research.
