We offer one of the most comprehensive selections of Roman Swords available to buy in the UK. We sell multiple versions of the famous Pompeii Gladius in a variety of styles to suit all budgets. Other Gladius in our collection include the Mainz Gladius and Late Roman Ceremonial Swords. From the Gladiatorial arena we offer replicas of swords from the hit movie Gladiator along with other prop swords from Spartacus and The Eagle. Our Gladius are great for display and some of the more authentic replicas are suitable for (non-contact) re-enactment. Our Pompeii Gladius and Mainz Gladius from Windlass Steelcrafts have high carbon steel blades and can be sharpened for use. Our Wooden Gladius or Rudis is a great retirement gift for military personnel or police officers.

    Roman Pompeii Gladius - Decorated

    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.

    The Pompeii Gladius takes its name from the archaeological site in Italy where, during excavations, 4 such swords were found. The swords are dated to before 79AD - the year that Pompeii was buried in volcanic ash. The Pompeii Gladius, along with the earlier Mainz Pattern Gladius, would have been issued to the garrison at Hadrian’s Wall. Examples can be seen in H. Russell Robinson’s book "What The Soldiers Wore On Hadrians Wall'".
