Gladius Junior, Child's Roman Sword, Wood

Gladius Junior, Roman Short Sword for Children, Wood

The gladius, the primary weapon of the Roman legions, was used in many variations from the 4th century BC to the 3rd century AD. True Roman troopers never left the camp without their gladii. Just like the helmet (galea), the shield (scutum) and the armour (lorica), the shortsword was an essential piece of any brave legionary's attire.

This gladius for little legionaries is crafted from one piece of wood. With this wooden sword, your child will be perfectly equipped to defend his/her own private castrum. And just like that, every Roman camp, costume party or playground can become a stage for heroic deeds.
