Ancient Roman Gladiator Short Sword (Gladius) 1. AD
About the Item
This Roman Gladiator short sword is an absolutely outstanding and unique example of an ancient Roman Pompeian Gladius Sword from 1. AD. There were three types of Gladius swords and this is the version which first appeared by the 1st century AD replacing previous two types. Compare to other Roman swords of this period, this type of sword became lighter and shorter and has a short triangular tip and parallel cutting edges.
In our modern times those swords were named Pompeii after a few sword examples found in the city.
These short swords with its sharp point were used by Gladiators because they were very efficient for stabbing and slashing.
The blade of the sword is made out of Iron and the beautiful hilt is bronze.
This Gladius is a very rare find and in excellent condition for its age.
