Roman Spartacus Gladius

Roman Gladius

The gladius was an early weapon used by the Roman Legion, around the 1st and 2nd centuries. It was a double edged sword for cutting with a tapered point for stabbing and thrusting. A solid grip was provided by a knobbed hilt added on, and possibly with ridges for the fingers.

Our gladius has a black leather scabbard with metal fittings, decorated with an images of a legionary carrying a standard under the watchful eye of a Roman eagle and a Roman emperor receiving the homage of his people.

It has a metal grip with finger ridges and wooden pommel, which measures approx 7" (178mm) long and 3" (176mm) at the widest point.

The sword weighs approx 1.75 kg in the scabbard and 1 kg out.

The blade measures approx 20 3/8" (517mm) and is decorated with a geometrical pattern,

The gladius in its scabbard measures approx 29" (737mm)

Reviewer: Kit from Bmouth

Exactly as it appears in photos, Good quality considering the low price. The finger grip handle is attractive but a tight squeeze for normal to large hands. Very good for a display piece.

Reviewer: John from Aylesbury

Brilliantly made and a marvelous addition to my collection. I bought a gladius some years ago for nearly twice the price and it's nowhere near as good as this one!

Reviewer: Andrew from Bedford
