PROMAN GLDIUS SWORD (SH2032) by CAS HANWEI
Hanwei's Gladius is based on the “waisted” pattern, its light blade and typical wooden guard and pommel arrangement making for a very quick sword indeed. The segmented bone handle and beautifully detailed scabbard with battle scenes in bas-relief complete a sword that any legionnaire or centurion would have been proud to own. Specs may vary slightly from piece to piece.

The Roman Gladius

In the third century BC, Rome fought against the Iberian Celts and their iron weapons, gaining so much respect for their short swords that they adopted the design as their own. The sword that eventually conquered most of the then-known world evolved from the Gladius Hispanicus - Spanish sword. Originally a stabbing weapon, the Gladius quickly became a cut-and-thrust sword, with a long point and a slightly waisted blade - arguably the most elegant of Roman sword types.
