The Roman Gladius by SZCO Supplies – A Tribute to the Sword that Shaped an Empire

Few weapons in history carry the legendary status of the Roman Gladius. Revered as the standard sidearm of the Roman legions for over four centuries, the gladius became a symbol of discipline, dominance, and conquest. SZCO Supplies proudly presents a faithful reproduction of this iconic weapon—an artfully crafted collectible that captures the spirit of the "Pompeii" style gladius, one of the most recognized designs to survive antiquity.

Handmade using time-honored techniques, this gladius balances form and function in a display-ready format. The 19-inch stainless steel blade is polished to a gleaming finish, mirroring the original’s practical design. With a straight, double-edged profile and pointed tip, it exemplifies the features that made the gladius such a formidable weapon in close-quarter combat. While this version is not sharpened for battle, its quality and detail make it an exceptional piece for collectors, historical enthusiasts, and reenactors.

The handle is a standout feature, showcasing a carving with classic finger grooves that offer both an authentic aesthetic and a secure hold. A dark hardwood guard and pommel frame the hilt, providing contrast and visual appeal while echoing the craftsmanship of Roman smiths. Every piece is individually assembled, ensuring no two swords are exactly alike.

The gladius comes complete with a wood-core scabbard wrapped in rich faux leather, accented by brass-colored steel fittings. With integrated suspension rings, it’s ready to hang on a wall, complete a Roman costume, or add historical depth to any themed decor. Whether displayed in a study, used as a prop in theatrical productions, or worn as part of a reenactment uniform, this sword brings a tangible sense of history to the modern collector.

For anyone drawn to the legacy of Rome—from museum-quality collectors to those seeking a conversation piece with historical gravitas—this sword delivers an impressive combination of authenticity, design, and presentation.
