Roman Sword

A Roman sword is a pretty cool thing. It conjures up images of ancient battlefields, fierce gladiator skirmishes, and long-forgotten conquests. But you know what would make a Roman sword even cooler? Knowing that its Latin name is ΓÇ£gladius.ΓÇ¥ Seriously, how cool a name is that? Compare the difference between stepping into battle shouting ΓÇ£Prepare to taste my sword!ΓÇ¥ versus ΓÇ£Prepare to taste my gladius!ΓÇ¥ Swords are great and all, but a gladius? Now thatΓÇÖs a weapon that means some business.Of course, if you go around your next costume party pointing out your gladius to people, youΓÇÖre probably going to get mostly confused looks. Maybe itΓÇÖs best to play it safe and just stick with ΓÇ£sword,ΓÇ¥ as long as you know in your heart that youΓÇÖre secretly carrying something that much cooler. This particular sword and/or gladius is made from sturdy plastic, measures in at 15 inches long, and comes with a handy brown sheath so you can free your sword hand for grabbing snacks. ItΓÇÖs an ideal addition to any gladiator or warrior costume, because no matter what you choose to call it, a Roman sword is a pretty cool thing.
