Lot 517
A superb Roman Gladius, 2nd - 3rd Century AD. A iron gladius sword with long tang to the top for searate grip handle. A bronze sheath with open rectangular section to the centre, decorated to the top with a large X with triskele below, the lower section with a knotwork pattern. Four rings to the side. The gladius was one Latin word for sword, and is used to represent the primary sword of Ancient Roman foot soldiers. Early ancient Roman swords were similar to those of the Greeks. From the third century BC, the Romans adopted swords similar to those used by the Celtiberians and others during the early part of the conquest of Hispania. This sword was known as the gladius hispaniensis, or "Hispanic sword". The gladius is two-edged for cutting and had a tapered point for stabbing during thrusting. A solid grip was provided by a knobbed hilt added on, possibly with ridges for the fingers. Blade strength was achieved by welding together strips, in which case the sword had a channel down the center, or by fashioning a single piece of high-carbon steel, rhomboidal in cross-section. The owner's name was often engraved or punched on the blade. The hilt of a Roman sword was the capulus. It was often ornate, especially the sword-hilts of officers and dignitaries. Stabbing was a very efficient technique, as stabbing wounds, especially in the abdominal area, were almost always deadly. However, the gladius in some circumstances was used for cutting or slashing, as is indicated by Livy's account of the Macedonian Wars, wherein the Macedonian soldiers were horrified to see dismembered bodies. Though the primary infantry attack was thrusting at stomach height, they were trained to take any advantage, such as slashing at kneecaps beneath the shield wall. The gladius was sheathed in a scabbard mounted on a belt or shoulder strap. Towards the end of the 2nd century AD and during the 3rd century the spatha gradually took the place of the gladius in the Roman legions. Size: 67cm. Provenance: Ex. Switzerland Collection, acquired over the last decade.
