Ancient Spartan Sword - The Roman Spartan Sword Reviewed

The Ancient Spartan Sword originates out of Rome. This was the famous weapon used by the Ancient Roman Gladiators during death duels. You will be able to tell if it is a Spartan Templars Knight Sword if there is a cross on the pommel. There is quite a bit of history behind this weapon. Edward the II dissolved the order of the temple in 1314. A great deal of Templars during this time by order were executed or sent to prison. Jacques De Molay, the orders last remaining Grand Master, was burned to death at a public gathering.

The decorative cross of this weapon, was commonly used by Templars which is a bonafide method of identifying this Ancient Spartan Sword. This weapon originated in the 14th Century AD, and was manufactured with 1060 High Carbon Steel with a satin polished blade. The blade was also heat tempered with a hardness of fifty three. The Hilt was made to fit with a cross guard and an Iron Pommel. The handle was manufactured out of solid wood and had Black Leather wrappings around it.

The Gladius Ancient Spartan Sword

This was another popular type of Ancient Sword used in Rome. In fact the Greeks used a very similar sword when they went to combat. Sometimes people refer to this as the Gladius Hispaniensis or Hispanic Sword. People thought these might be similar to the Mainz types, however further research states this is wrong. The blades on these followed a somewhat different pattern when they were created. They are typically longer and narrower and were considered weapons for cutting and thrusting.

The Gladius Sword was used for one to one combat. They preferred to use the Javelin first, which was a spear like ranged weapon which they'd throw at the enemy in an attempt to take them out that way first. In Roman Combat Tactics, this would "thin the herd" so they'd have a lot less enemy to deal with when they had to meet them face to face. Roman Soldiers also used shields which they would use to shield attacks, and would employ the Gladius Sword to stab or slice up their nemesis.

Roman Soldier
What would happen if a Roman soldier was missing a piece of his suit of armor?

Roman soldiers didn't have much in the way of armor and what they did have they took very good care of -- so it didn't go "missing".

after a battle, the winning side looted the armor and weapons [and money, gold, jewels, etc., if any] on the dead and from the losers.

it was called "spoils of war".
