Roman sword, long sword with scabbard, 2nd century
This sword is not a one-to-one replica of a historical model, but a reconstruction based on original finds from the 2nd century. These finds belong to the collection of the Limes Museum in Aalen, Baden Wurttemberg.
From the late 2nd century AD the long Roman sword began to gradually replace the shorter gladius. By the 3rd century it had already become the standard weapon of the Imperial Roman legions and auxiliary troops and was also used by gladiators. The exact origin of the spathae and the reasons why it so quickly replaced the efficient and much feared gladius in the Middle and Late Roman Empire are still widely discussed today among historians, archaeologists and lovers of ancient Rome. Although it is widely believed that the spathae are of Celtic descent and owed their rapid popularity to changes in combat techniques and military tactics in Roman infantry and cavalry,
The Roman sword offered here has a long double-edged blade made of EN45 spring steel (neither hardened nor heat-treated). The cutting edges are not sharpened and the continuous blade tang is screwed into the end of the handle (brass threaded nut). The hilt with semi-circular pommel and guard is made entirely of wood.
The Roman one-handed sword is delivered with a brown wooden/leather scabbard with mouth guard, hood and brass belt passage (maximum belt width 5.5 cm). The most striking feature of this scabbard is obviously the larger than average decorative round plate or scabbard at the lower end (also known as can band ).
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.
