Roman dagger with Dura-Europos scabbard (31.5 cm.)

This Roman dagger is a replica of an archaeological find from excavations at Dura-Europos, a fortress captured by the Romans in 165 AD in Syria. The dagger features a carbon steel blade, with a curved, single-edged edge and a slightly sloped back. The hilt is wooden and the collar and buttcap are made of cast brass, the buttcap being similar to the pommels used on some later Migration and Viking Age seaxes. The dagger's blade is EN45 steel and is not sharp, while the scabbard is made of wood with a red leather cover with openwork brass panels and two carrying rings.

It is important to note that this dagger is not a combat weapon and is intended for collection, display, and characterization purposes only. In addition, it is an ideal choice as a prop in film and theater productions that require an authentic representation of Roman history. This replica presents a faithful reproduction of a historical piece, which thanks to its handcrafted details can enrich any collection of historical objects.
