Dolabra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The dolabra is a versatile tool used by the peoples of Italy from ancient times. The dolabra could serve as a pickaxe sused by miners and excavators, a priest's implement for ritual religious slaughtering of animals and as an entrenching tool used in Roman infantry tactics.
