The Gladius Sword and the Roman Spatha were the most well-known and feared swords of the Roman legions. The Gladius Sword is a short sword, with a double-edged blade, and designed for close combat as it allowed for quick and accurate thrusts. The Gladius began to be used in the 3rd century aC and is defined by master armorers as the best bladed weapon from a practical and strategic point of view.

The Cavalry Spatha was the evolution of the Gladius . It began to be used at the end of the 2nd century dC and was somewhat longer with a wider, double-edged blade. In addition to legionaries, it was also used by gladiators. It is believed that it was an even more effective weapon than the gladius and that is why it came to replace it, although there are also those who believe that changes in military strategies led to the change to a somewhat longer sword such as the Spatha.

Roman helmets

As is often the case in empires as long-lived as the Roman one, there were numerous types of Roman helmets, some of them were: Montefortino helmet, helmet of the last centuries of the Republic. The Cooluis , the first Gallic design used by the first Roman legions. The Weisenau , made exclusively of iron with a one-piece cap and neck guard. The Imperial Italic Helmets , very similar to the Weisenau with frontal reinforcement. The Spangenhelm helmet, built with segments, is known for its nasal reinforcement. With articulated cheek pieces and some with neck covers. Intercisa type helmet, were two-section helmets with cheek pieces and rounded neck covers. It had openings in the ears and was usually decorated on the front with a kind of eyes.

Roman shields

The evolution of the Roman shield during the centuries of Roman hegemony has been constant. At the end of the 3rd century aC the oval and curved shield appeared. Made with wooden planks, linen and leather and with metal trim on the edge. In the time of Augustus, it evolved into the tile model. At the end of the 1st century dC and during the 2nd century dC the predominant shield was the rectangular and curved one used by the Roman legions.

The Roman shield known as the Scutum was used by heavy infantry. The shield was shaped to fit the human body. The scutum was the primary form of protection for the body of Roman soldiers. The purpose of this shield was to deflect enemy missiles and offer protection from sword strikes.

In the later centuries (II-III dC , round umbos were used, the tile-type shield and round and flat shields continued to be used.

Roman bracelets and belts

The Roman bracelet is one of those accessories that appear in many reproductions of the period, but the truth is that at the beginning of the empire it was not common to see them. It was at the end of the Republic that Roman bracelets became popular among both men and women. They were bracelets or bangles made of metal (bronze, iron or even gold). Already in the 3rd century dC bracelets with central discs decorated with precious stones appeared.

In the collection that we present to you in our Medieval Store you will find some, although most of the ones we present to you are made of leather, more or less rigid with all kinds of ornamentation and details.

When we talk about Roman belts we have to highlight the military belts (cingulum militare) such as the balteus , a leather strap to hang the sheathed sword or the cingulum , to adjust it to the waist that were provided to the soldiers when they joined the legion being responsible for taking care of them and guarding them.

The girdles were different depending on the military rank of the owner. While a soldier wore a primus pilus or first belt, a centurion or commander wore it. The design and motifs of the plates and kilts were different.

Roman decoration - banners and cushions
