The gladius - the typical weapon of the Roman legionaries
The detailed gladius is based on the original model, which is over 2300 years old: from the lovingly hand-turned sword handle to the gently curved blade.
The gladius was developed from the weapon type of the so-called Iberian Celtiberians as early as the third century BC and enjoyed great popularity until 300 AD, as it was the standard weapon of the Roman infantry. With the triumphant advance of the Roman Empire, the gladius also spread as an effective close combat weapon, contributing significantly to the success of the Roman army and ultimately to the establishment of a world empire. The relatively short length of this sword made it ideal as a thrusting weapon, but it also had great penetrating power. The gladius - a testimony to advanced, ancient weapon technology and a revolutionary in Roman warfare.
High-quality craftsmanship - Made in Germany!
The gladius for legionaries comes to you with a length of 48 centimeters - and thus corresponds to the Roman model. The short sword is made with the utmost care from glued solid beech wood, then elaborately painted and oiled. To give it the best possible stability, your gladius is reinforced on the inside with a solid metal rod, from the handle to the tip. So it will always stand by you in battle!
