Late Roman Spatha Sword

The Late Roman Spatha Sword is great for warriors who ride into battle as part of the Roman cavalry or command the Roman Empire from a seat in the Senate. Made from EN45 high-carbon steel, this weapon has a flat, double-edged blade.

This sword, based on a historical replica spatha from ancient Rome, has a longer blade length. It was popular among mounted troops as it gradually replaced the shorter gladius that the Roman infantry had previously favored.

This sword continues with a short guard, rounded on the grip side for comfortable handling. The hilt continues with a ridged bone grip before ending with a rounded pommel.

A carved design adorns the pommel, reflecting influences from Roman blacksmiths who meticulously crafted such weapons. This spatha design is based on examples of blades found from Roman times, showcasing the transition from the earlier gladius to longer swords suited for cavalry engagements.

Finally, the sword comes with a wooden scabbard. Red leather wraps around the metal frame, adding durability and historical authenticity. The scabbard has brass fittings, including a loop for hanging the scabbard from a belt (not included).

With an impressive overall length, this sword is perfect for historical reenactments or any collector of weaponry.

Bring this sword to a reenactment or add it to your Roman sword collection—it looks great on display!
