THE PRAETORIAN (54-105) by Valiant Armoury
NobleWares is extremely pleased to offer such an outstanding and affordable blade as Valiant Armoury's Praetorian. You will be impressed with both the beauty and the strength of this Gladius; a combination of qualties that are rarely found in functional Roman Gladius swords today.

The "Praetorian" is named in honor of the Praetorian guard that was created in 27 BC by the Roman Emperor Augustus. It is a Mainz style Roman Gladius sword. This type first appeared shortly after Mainz was founded as the Roman permanent camp of Moguntiacum in 13 BC by the Roman general Drusus. The swords made at Mainz were generally sold to the people of the lands to the north of Mainz. They are characterized by a slight waist running the length of the blade and a long point. The Praetorian features a sharp, hand hammer forged 19 and 3/4 inch leaf shape blade. The handle is alternating brass and macassar ebony hardwood. (Scabbard Included)
