Product description

The spatha is based on material remains of various third-century original spathas excavated in Podlodów (Poland) in the region of Przeworsk culture. Several blades of the Podlodów type have been found along the Limes, and were presumably forged in Rome and spread throughout the empire by the Roman armies. The blade is fairly wide compared to the second-century spathae, and features two fullers. The spatha has been designed for close combat. It is a fine asset for collectors, constructed from a beautiful wooden hilt decorated with brass rings in the grip, guard and pommel. The pommel is screwed. The spatha is supplied with a luxurious red leather scabbard with a wooden core. The scabbard features a handsome brass belt loop (for belts up to 5 cm wide) and brass decorations at the top and bottom. The scabbard is further decorated with strong black cord wrapped around the leather, creating a beautiful authentic effect.
