Description

The Roman Gladius is one of the most iconic weapons in history, feared by Rome’s enemies and celebrated as the sword that forged an empire. From the Republican battlefields of Hispania to the Imperial conquests across Europe and the Mediterranean, this short sword was the trusted companion of every legionary. Designed for precision thrusts and brutal efficiency in close combat, the Gladius became the very symbol of Rome’s military dominance.

This faithful replica brings that history to life. The double-edged blade is paired with a shaped wooden hilt and pommel, providing the unmistakable look of the Roman soldier’s weapon. The included scabbard, wrapped in black leather and finished with gleaming brass fittings and suspension rings, completes the look, ready to be worn on a Roman-style belt or proudly displayed on a wall mount.

Weighing approx. 1.68 kg, this reproduction balances authentic design with practical handling. While safe with a blunt edge and not intended for cutting use, it is ideal for collectors and display purposes. Place it on your office wall, in a study, or as the centerpiece of your historical arms collection, and it will command attention with its timeless presence.
