Looking for an authentic emblem of imperial Roman might that will captivate any history enthusiast? The Roman Gladius Sword (Pompeii Pattern, 1st Century AD) is a faithful replica of the legendary sidearm that conquered much of the known ancient world. The Roman legions approached the art of war with absolute pragmatism. Serving as the primary sidearm of legionaries from the 3rd century BC through the 4th century AD, the gladius proved unmatched, functional, and lethally effective in close-quarters combat.
This model is faithfully patterned after historical originals excavated from the ruins of Pompeii (documented extensively in seminal works by H. Russell Robinson). The shorter, double-edged blade without a waisted profile was optimized for mass production while remaining devastating on the battlefield. It makes a prestigious, striking weapon ideal as a centerpiece for your collection or as an unforgettable personalized gift.
Key Features & Specifications:
○1075 High Carbon Steel Blade (19.5 in / 49.5 cm): Hand-forged from rugged 1075 high carbon steel. The double-edged, polished blade faithfully reproduces the contours, balance, and lethal geometry of the 1st-century Roman original.
○Historical Hardwood Hilt: Artfully turned from genuine ash and maple wood. It features the distinctive spherical pommel, a box-style wooden guard, and an ergonomically contoured grip for a firm, commanding hold.
○Leather & Brass Scabbard: Delivered with a wood-core scabbard neatly wrapped in dark genuine leather. The scabbard is reinforced and adorned with ornate brass fittings, including the throat, lock bands, and chape.
○Dimensions & Weight: Total sword length measures 28.0 in (71 cm), with an authentic, well-balanced weight of approx. 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg).
○FREE Custom Laser Engraving: We provide complimentary precision laser dedication engraving directly on the sword blade. To take advantage of this personalization, enter your custom text in the “Order Notes” field during checkout.
Please note: Due to the polished 1075 high carbon steel construction, the blade requires regular maintenance and light oiling to protect against surface rust.
