Gladius Junior, Child's Roman Sword, Wood, painted
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.
