About the Gladiator Wooden-Handle Sword

The gladius was the short sword of Rome’s foot soldiers, closely related to the Greek xiphos. Historical re-enactors recognise three main types – the Mainz, Fulham and Pompeii gladius – with only subtle differences between them, and Roman smiths forged them either in a single piece or from composite parts.

This is a reproduction of the sword Maximus carries at the opening of Gladiator, and it is very close to the original prop. The film’s designers created a handsome, historically grounded sword for a successful Roman general, finished with a polished wooden pommel and guard.
