Gladius - MaintzPattern

The Roman army’sapproach to warfare was direct and pragmatic. It chose the gladius as itsprincipal sidearm because it was practical and efficient and excelled in anyclose combat situation. The early gladius (our version is the Maintz pattern)was wasp waisted with a long point that combined cutting power and stabbingability in one handy weapon. This is the sword that conquered most of the knownworld. Made of high carbon steel by Windlass Steelcrafts. Originals wereexcavated from the ruins of Pompeii. You can see examples in H. RussellRobinson’s bookWhat The Soldiers Wore On Hadrian’s Wall\'. Thisgladius in the maintz pattern has a faux ivory grip with ornate brass appliqueon the scabbard. It can be sharpened for additional fee.
