Nice! ••• This is the sword that Roman Legions used to conquer large parts of the known world, in use from 3rd Century BC to 3rd Century AD. Gladii were two-edged for cutting and had a tapered point for stabbing during thrusting. A solid grip was provided by a knobbed hilt, usually with ridges for the fingers called the capulus. It was often ornate, especially the sword-hilts of officers and dignitaries. Stabbing was a very efficient technique, as stabbing wounds, especially in the abdominal area, were almost always deadly. However, the gladius in some circumstances was used for cutting or slashing, as indicated by Livy’s account of the Macedonian Wars, wherein the Macedonian soldiers were horrified to see dismembered bodies. Though the primary infantry attack was thrusting at stomach height, they were trained to take any advantage, such as slashing at kneecaps beneath the shield wall. Indeed a fearsome weapon, especially in th ehands of trained Legionaires and Gladiators. The gladius was sheathed in a scabbard mounted on a belt or shoulder strap Historic Specifications: Weight 1.5–2.2 lb (0.7–1 kg) Overall Length 24–33 in (60–85 cm ) Blade Length 18–27 in (45–68 cm ) Blade Width 2.0–2.8 in (5–7 cm )
