This Roman baldric is made of genuine leather and is the ancient version of a sword belt. The wide belt of leather worn across one shoulder splits at both ends into two straps of different lengths. The four straps form loops around the metal rings used to attach the scabbard of a Roman gladius, for example (gladius sold separately). With this mechanism, a legionary can carry his sword at his side and always have it at hand. The loops of this Roman baldric are fastened with handy Chicago screws.

Our sword is designed for the hordes, the common warriors. It is a well-balanced weapon without a lot of extra features, simple and effective, just like it should be. The wooden grip is wrapped in black leather. The slightly curved pommel combined with the 5-lobed crossguard of high-quality steel makes this sword a classic type VI in Wheeler's Viking sword typology. Comes complete with a leather scabbard.
