Early spathae are depicted on tombstones with hilts and scabbards very close to legionary types. It is likely that the auxiliary cavalry units copied legionary fashions making these swords essentially a hybrid between Celtic and Roman weapon design. The spatha began to replace the shorter gladius as the primary Roman sword from about AD.100 onwards. The Romans continued to use their spathae right up until the decline of the Roman Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade: 64cm Handle: 20cm Overall: 93cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Barnett","offers":[{"title":"UNDER 18 DON'T BUY","offer_id":27835710727,"sku":"S5709M - 01","price":105.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"I AM OVER 18","offer_id":27835710791,"sku":"S5709M - 02","price":105.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1272\/6169\/products\/roman_sparta_swo_4d07f589efc31.jpg?v=1471488083"},{"product_id":"roman-gladius-sword-john-barnett-s5761","title":"Roman Gladius Sword John Barnett- S5761","description":"\u003cp\u003eRef: S5761\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Barnett Design Roman Gladius Sword This John Barnett Roman Gladius Sword replica is superb, with a full tang and an EN45 spring steel blade.

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.
