SW139 Basic roman gladius

Description

In the roman legions, rookies were called "Tiro". As they were not as wealthy as the older legionaries, they could not afford to pay for the richly decorated swords and scabbards which were in use at this time - and most surely began their careers which plain and simple weapons, such as this one.

Total length 74cm.

× All these weapons have steel or bronze blades, but are not intended for fencing, unless otherwise specified. It is reminded that the sale of bladed weapons to minors is prohibited, and that even though our reproductions are primarily intended for decoration or historical reenactment, their acquisition is reserved exclusively to adults.
