The Roman Gladius is one of history’s most iconic swords, wielded by the legionaries of the Roman Empire and remembered as the weapon that expanded Rome’s frontiers. Its name even gave rise to the word “gladiator”, reflecting how closely the sword was tied to both military life and the arena.

The blade has a straight, double-edged design tapering to a sharp point, ideal for close combat, the very technique that made the Roman legions so effective.

Our Roman Gladius version has a hardwood pommel, grip, and guard with a leather covered handle, like the traditional Roman style. The black leather scabbard with polished brass fittings completes the look, making it a striking display item.

This Roman Gladius is sized true to history. While it is handcrafted for collectors and display, not combat, it still carries the weight of ancient tradition in every detail.
