The Sparta
The longsword - the typical weapon of the Roman horsemen
The detailed longsword is exactly based on the original model, which is more than 2300 years old: starting with the lovingly hand-turned sword hilt and ending with the gently curved blade.
As early as the third century B.C., the gladius was developed from the weapon type of the so-called Iberian Celtiberians and enjoyed great popularity until 300 A.D., being the standard weapon of the Roman cavalry. With the triumphant march of the Roman Empire, the Sparta also spread as an effective weapon, which thus contributed significantly to the success of the Roman army and ultimately to the establishment of a world empire.
