Roman gladius Mainz-Fulham type with scabbard
The Gladius, the standard weapon of Rome's legionaries between the 3rd century BC and the 3rd century BC, has been used in many different variants over the centuries. Although primarily designed for stabbing, the feared Roman short sword was also an extremely effective cutting weapon. However, over the course of the Middle/Late Roman Empire, it was gradually replaced by the longer Spatha.
Although the Roman sword offered here is not an individual replica of an archaeological find, it is based on the Gladii, which was built by Roman legion soldiers in the first half of the 1st century. The broad, double-edged blade with a flat, diamond-shaped cross section is forged from EN45 spring steel (neither hardened nor heat-treated). With its parallel, straight edges and long, pointed placement, it corresponds to the blade of a classic Gladius of the Fulham or Mainz-Fulham type, which is classified as a transitional type between the Mainz type and the later Pompeii type (or as a variation within the Mainz Group). The blades are not sharpened and the continuous blade rod is screwed all the way to the end of the handle (brass threaded nut). The handle is made of bone, parier and knob of wood. The stop piece is fitted with a brass plate on the blade side.
The Roman single-handed man's scabbard with brown leather/wood scabbard is supplied with ornate brass fittings (an openwork mouth-plate, horizontal straps with support rings and a frame or a continuous side border which is closed by a place-button). The front panel of the mouth-plate displays a geometric sun-shaped revolution motif and the V-shaped position band is decorated with a pattern of stylised and symmetrically arranged turns and surmounted by a palmette. The vaginal fittings are inspired by historical finds, in particular by the remains of a 1st century sword scabbard, which was recovered from the Porto Novo shipwreck near Porto Vecchio (Corsica) and was also identified as a transitional type due to its shape, size and ornamentation.
It should be noted that this sword is not suitable for display combat. It is available as a collector's item or decorative object designed and also very suitable as an accessory, for example to complete your costume.

MaríaExcelente producto. Lo compre para un regalo y fue mejor de lo que esperaba. Totalmente recomendado. La espada era de muy buena calidad y a un muy buen precio. 100% recomendado
Francisco JavierEs todo lo que esperaba, impresiona su peso, calidad y nivel de detalle, sólo por poner un punto de mejora, en la madera expositora, hubiera estado bien el logo de He-Man, ya sea la cruz o la H, para hacerlo aún más único y personalizado
NataliaTal cual la descripción muy contenta, ya estoy ahorrando para otra 🤣🙏🏻
MarioLo recomiendo completamente, me llegó muy rápido y muy buena calidad.
JudithEl producto vino impecable y la verdad es que calidad-precio es brutal
NaiaraEs una espada de calidad, sin filo, pero realizada hasta el mínimo detalle, siendo fiel al aspecto de la espada Rhindon en las películas. Con las letras gravadas en el acero y el león el la punta de la empuñadura. No viene con vaina pero sí con un expositor de pared, que aún yo no he usado. Es excelente, preciosa espada y de calidad, 100% recomendable
NaiaraUn producto de calidad, lo recomiendo 100%, además viene con una vaina propia para tenerla mejor guardada, cosa que, en caso de tener niños/as es más seguro y queda más protegido. También es perfecto como parte de decoración.
