The Gladius came in different shapes and sizes to accommodate various battlefields and enemies. This is an accurate replica of a Pompeii Gladius, one of the shortest versions, which featured parallel cutting edges and a triangular tip. It served an army that required a direct approach to warfare and was usable for deep thrusting to powerful cutting, which contributed to the conquering of three continents.<\/p>\n
This accurate replica is made from 1075 high carbon steel and comes sharpened and ready for battle. The blade has the true mid-rib which reinforces it for rigid cutting.<\/p>\n
Its one-handed handle is made of maple and ash wood with a substantial pommel for balance, as well as a small handguard acting as a hand-stopper. The handle features the iconic Roman finger openings that allow for a very firm grip, especially useful when holding another object like a large shield in the other hand.<\/p>\n
This Pompeii gladius comes with its own wooden and leather-covered scabbard that has a brass throat and tip, complete with belt loops that can be attached to the user carrying it.<\/p>\n
The sword is made both for decoration as a reenactment piece and also to put the iconic legionary weapon to the test during cutting practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
