Roman Swords — Beautiful, Swift & Strong
ROMAN SWORDS
Roman swordsmiths were masters at adopting and modifying their designs to overcome disadvantages in combat.
Roman improvements to swords were often based on technology from other cultures like the Greeks, Celts and Spanish. This allowed the Romans to use different swords for different styles of combat and fighting conditions.
Among the most highly prized weapons in ancient days was the short sword due to its magnificent craftsmanship and design. Whether you're seeking a Roman short sword as a gift, or other types of Roman swords and daggers for reenactment or collection purposes, you'll find excellence and authenticity in many of these functional and display–quality pieces.

Roman Short SwordsThere are five basic types of short swords, each with its own advantages. Short swords with longer points could cut into heavy metal armor. But against unarmored barbaric hordes, a 'hacking' sword with a short point was more effective.

Adopted from the Spanish after they were conquered, this ingenious design solved the problems associated with using short swords in chariot battles.
