Product description

This gladius is a replica of a Roman short sword that was dredged from the Danube near Dubravica in Serbia in the 1950s. It presumably belonged to a Roman soldier or a member of the auxiliary troops. The form of the blade fits the classical type Mainz from the 1st century AD.

The double-edged blade of carbon steel has a flat diamond-shaped cross-section, a continuous midrib and a long, leaf-shaped point. Grip, crossguard and pommel are of wood; striking are the four bronze rings at the top of the pommel and the brass plate beneath the crossguard. The wood scabbard is covered with red leather and has brass fittings with carrying rings.

This weapon is intended for collectors, as decoration and as a historical accessory for re-enactment and living history. The blade is not suitable for fighting or sparring.
