Re: Daves Gladius
Legionnaire Drusius Maximus dropped his Gladius and dented the flutes on the handle. He will be flogged and stand ten extra guards.Last edited by trubrit2411; 29 January 2020, 14:45."If they control your speech.....they control your life"

Re: Daves Gladius
Dave, good find there mate, it's in immaculate condition considering its age, what a lift you must get pulling that out of the ground. It was definitely cutting edge technology of its time, short stabbing weapon designed for use within the confines of a Testudo the Roman method of unit defence when under attack . Unit protected by using the oblong shields overhead ,front ,and sides, seemed to work very well from what I've read about it.
keep digging mate, it's interesting stuff because it's real, not some modern reproduction. Love it !Bob (geordie) Watts
