Legacy Arms classic Imperial Roman Gladius (or short sword) mimics an original found in the ruins of Pompeii (reliably dating from 79 CE). Features a double edged high carbon blade, hard wood handle & high polished steel spacer at the bottom of the handle for strength and durability. Sword also includes a wood scabbard wrapped in black leather with steel accents at throat and tip.
Our new version of Roman Gladius features a reduced handle radius for a better grip. Also, we've redesigned the handle and blade lengths for better balance and handling. Please note that the wood grains and tones will vary from sword to sword. The scabbard has also been improved with a stainless accoutrements and a leather wrap.
