Get to know all the Roman swords

The Roman army's approach to warfare was straightforward and pragmatic. The gladius was chosen as its primary weapon because it was practical and effective, and excelled in any close combat situation. The first gladius (our replica is the Maintz model) was a carved design with a long point that combined cutting power and stabbing ability in one useful hand weapon. This is the sword that conquered most of the known world. Made of high carbon steel. The originals were excavated from the ruins of Pompeii. You can see designs in the book What The Soldiers Wore On Hadrian's Wall by H. Russell Robinson.

This Maintz design gladius has an imitation ivory hilt with brass detailing adorning the scabbard.
