Legionary´s Gladius

Legionary´s Gladius
(OBLG)

This ‘oak-blade’ replica represents a sword known as a’ Legionary’s Gladius’, but it was not invented by the Romans.  Rome’s Legions first encountered this sword, literally at the sharp end,  fighting the Spanish soldiers in Hannibal’s Carthaginian army.  This Gladius Hispanicus (Spanish Sword) was soon adopted by all Rome’s legions.  Compared to their classic swords, this gladius had a shorter much stronger blade, ideal for their forward thrusting style of combat.
