Roman sword Podlodów type with scabbard, 3rd century 0116201100

Roman Podlodów sword with scabbard, 3rd century AD

This Roman sword is a reconstruction based on several original finds from the 3rd century. The originals were found near Podlodów (in present-day Poland) in the archaeological area of ​​the Przeworsk culture. A few more blades have also been excavated from Podlodów along or near the Limes, the outer border of the Roman Empire. It is believed that these swords came largely from Roman smiths and at some point found their way through the empire to the Barbaricum.

Although hardly different from its predecessors in terms of blade length, this particular Spatha variant, which was probably designed as an effective cutting sword for close combat, had a broader blade with usually two to four fullers.

The Roman sword offered here has a broad, double-edged blade made of EN45 spring steel with a double fuller. The cutting edges are not sharpened and the continuous blade tang is screwed to the end of the handle. The hilt with flattened, oval pommel and octagonal guard and grip is made of wood and brass.

The one-handed Roman sword is delivered with a red wooden/leather scabbard with hood and brass belt loop (maximum belt width 5 cm) and black cord trim.

It should be noted that this sword is not suitable for display combat. It is designed as a collector's item or decorative object and is also ideal as an accessory, for example to complete your costume.
