Description

Few weapons in world history have had such great tactical importance as the Roman gladius. To understand the importance this short sword had on the battlefields of antiquity, it is best to start with the Roman historian Livy.


ƒ??When they had seen bodies chopped to pieces by the Gladius Hispaniensis, arms torn away, shoulders and all, or heads separated from the bodies, with the necks completely severed, or vitals laid open, and other fearful wounds, realized in a general panic with what weapons and what men they had to fight,ƒ? wrote Livy in the History of Rome.


Our beautiful range of Battle Ready Swords are perfect for re-enactors or collectors who like to practice with their swords to better understand them. Made of tempered carbon steel with a full tang and strong fixings, these swords are made to wail!


The Standard Temper produces a more durable sword blade that is likely more suitable for re-enactment and sparring. The Ultra Temper is to produce a blade that holds a sharp edge.
