The Roman Wooden Gladius celebrates the training discipline of one of history’s greatest armies, the Roman Legion. Before facing real combat, soldiers trained with a rudis, a wooden sword that helped them build strength, speed, and accuracy without risk of injury.
Handcrafted from steam beech wood, this gladius combines strength with authenticity. The sturdy hardwood gives it a balanced weight and solid feel, perfect for repeated use. Its short, tapered blade mirrors the classic gladius design, while the rounded pommel and narrow guard ensure a secure and comfortable grip during practice or performances.
Every piece is unique, with natural differences in wood color and grain, adding character and authenticity. Whether for historical displays, theatre, martial arts, or themed events, this wooden gladius brings the spirit of Roman training to life.
