Description
Details
The Roman Gladius was the primary weapon of the Roman Legionary and was used in conjunction with the 'Scutum' (shield) and 'Pilum' (spear).
Its design was strongly influenced by the swords used by the Iberian (Spanish) Celts. It was predominantly designed as a thrusting weapon and was in use in one form or another from the 4th Century BC to the 3rd Century AD.
Our Roman Gladius Letter Opener is a product of the world famous Art Gladius factory in the historic sword manufacturing city of Toledo, Spain.

Please note that due to the weight of this letter opener it will not sit very well on any of the stands that we have on our site.
