Greek Kopis – Horn Handle
SKU: AH2153HA lighter, swifter take on the classic Greek Kopis, this bone-handled version offers a more responsive blade than the typical thick-spined examples — the forward-curving profile retained, but with a thinner blade geometry that trades some chopping mass for speed and agility in the hand.
-
Greek Kopis – Wood Handle
SKU: AH2153WThe wood-handled version of Deepeeka’s responsive Greek Kopis pairs the same swift, thin-bladed profile with a carved wooden grip — a classic material choice that reflects the organic hilt construction common to genuine ancient Greek originals, offering excellent purchase and a traditional aesthetic for collectors and re-enactors alike.
-
Based on finds from the Campovalano necropolis in Italy — an important site reflecting ancient Greek influence on the Italic peoples — this Xiphos reflects the evolution of classical Greek swords beyond mainland Greece, into the warrior cultures of the Samnites, Etruscans and Umbrians who fought Rome before their eventual assimilation into the Republic.

Bronze Horse head Iberian Falcata
SKU: AH2155As feared as it was renowned, the Bronze Horse Head Iberian Falcata transports the collector to an age of fierce Celtiberian warriors defending their lands against Roman invasion. This bronze-fitted version carries the inward-curving, double-edged blade that inspired genuine fear in the heart of the Roman Republic before the Iberian Peninsula was finally conquered following the Second Punic War.
-
The Falcata was the primary sidearm of the Celtiberian warriors who fought against Carthage and Rome during the bloody conflicts of the 3rd–2nd centuries BC. When Hannibal crossed the Alps with his army in 218 BC, his Iberian and Celtiberian troops carried Falcatas — and Roman soldiers who survived encounters with them described their cuts as uniquely devastating. The horse head hilt is one of the most distinctive and beautiful features of the finest Iberian examples.
-
Iberian Falcata (Wooden Handle) Met Museum
SKU: AH2152The Falcata struck fear into the Roman legions who first encountered it during the conquest of Hispania — a forward-curving, single-edged sword capable of cutting through helmets and shields with a single blow, according to the Roman historian Livy. This wood-grip version offers a faithful interpretation of the type carried by Celtiberian warriors who fought against Rome through the long campaigns of the 2nd and 1st centuries BC.

The Kopis was the cutting sword of the ancient Greek world — a forward-curving single-edged blade that shifted its weight toward the tip, enabling powerful chopping and slashing strokes that complemented the thrusting spear of the hoplite phalanx.

Xiphos Dagger – Greek Hoplite Sidearm
SKU: AH4238The Xiphos Dagger is the compact companion to the full-length Xiphos — a shorter blade in the same leaf-shaped tradition, serving as the hoplite’s closest-range backup weapon or as a standalone sidearm for those who could not afford or did not carry the longer sword.

The Athenian cavalry Kopis — the forward-curving single-edged slashing sword favoured by Greek horsemen after the 5th century BC, as recommended by Xenophon himself in his treatise On Horsemanship. This horn-handled version reflects the organic materials used in the finest surviving Greek Kopis examples, its solidly riveted horn hilt providing a secure grip for the powerful downward cuts that made the Kopis the preferred mounted sword of the Classical world.

Sica – Thracian & Dacian Curved Short Sword
SKU: AH4234The Sica was the distinctive curved short sword of the Thracians, Dacians and Illyrians — and one of the most recognisable blades of the gladiatorial arena. Thracian gladiators — one of the most popular fighting styles in Rome — carried the Sica as their signature weapon, its curved form giving them a distinct advantage in the arena against heavier armed opponents. It was also the battlefield sidearm of the Dacian warriors who resisted Roman expansion into modern-day Romania.

The anthropomorphic hilt — where the grip of a sword is shaped in the form of a human figure, the legs forming the guard and the raised arms and head creating the pommel — is one of the most distinctive and archaeologically significant features of La Tène Celtic sword culture. Found across Britain, France, Switzerland and the Balkans, these talismanic hilts were believed to enhance the power of the owner and carry protective significance beyond their functional role.

La Tène Celtic Dagger with Wooden Hilt
SKU: AH4325A practical La Tène Celtic dagger in the Iron Age tradition — the everyday sidearm of the Celtic warrior world, carried alongside longer swords or as a standalone blade for those who could not equip themselves with the fuller sword kit. The wooden hilt reflects the organic material tradition of La Tène blade furniture, where bone, wood and horn were the standard grip materials before more elaborate metalwork was applied to prestige pieces
-
A larger La Tène Celtic dagger bridging the boundary between dagger and short sword — its cast bronze anthropomorphic hilt combining the prestige material of bronze with the talismanic human-figure tradition that runs through the finest La Tène blades. Where the wooden-hilt dagger served the ordinary warrior, a bronze-hilted anthropomorphic piece represented a significant personal investment and a statement of cultural identity.
-
The face-pommel type of anthropomorphic Celtic dagger is among the most visually striking objects the Iron Age world produced — its cast brass hilt terminating in a clearly rendered human face, the features articulated with the characteristic geometric precision of La Tène Celtic art. Found across the Celtic world from Britain to the Balkans, these face-pommel daggers combined martial function with symbolic power, the human face believed to invest the blade with talismanic protection.
-
A reconstructed Roman Republican Gladius based on archaeological fragments and sculptural evidence from Delos — the sacred Aegean island that was also one of the ancient world’s great trading centres. The Delos finds provide rare evidence for Roman Republican military equipment in the eastern Mediterranean, dating to the turbulent period of the Mithridatic Wars when Rome was extending its power into Greece and Asia Minor.
-
A longer Roman sword representing the transitional period between the short Gladius and the early Spatha — the form carried by cavalry and auxiliary forces as the Roman army began its long shift away from the infantry thrusting sword toward the longer mounted blade. Reflecting the 1st to 2nd century AD transition, this piece bridges the two most significant Roman sword traditions.

Caesarean Sword with Bone Handle

Greco Roman Parazonium Short Sword
SKU: AH3278The Parazonium was the short triangular sidearm of the ancient Greek and Roman world — a blade carried by officers and depicted on the arms of divine figures in classical sculpture. Its distinctive long triangular blade with widened base and acute point appears in the hands of personifications of Victory on Roman monuments, in the belts of Macedonian officers on the Alexander Sarcophagus, and in the equipment lists of Hellenistic and Roman commanders.
-
The Parazonium was the distinctive short dagger of the ancient Greek and later Roman world — its long triangular blade tapering to an acute point, associated in classical art with officers, commanders and divine personifications of Victory. Where the Xiphos was the hoplite’s backup blade, the Parazonium was the blade of authority — carried by those who led rather than merely fought.
-
Spartan Short Sword
SKU: AH4213/W068Inspired by the distinctive short Xiphos associated with Spartan warriors and made famous by the film ‘300’, this piece captures the characteristically short Laconian blade that Spartan soldiers favoured — the blade they famously said was ‘long enough to reach the heart of an enemy.’ A blunt-edged carbon steel blade with leather-wrapped handle.

Greek Xiphos – Alfedena Type with Bone Hilt
SKU: AH4214NA companion piece to the Campovalano Xiphos, based on finds from the nearby Alfedena necropolis — another Iron Age cemetery in the Samnite territory of central Italy where Greek cultural influence produced a distinctive local sword tradition. The bone hilt and pierced iron facing reflect the same construction tradition as the Campovalano examples, confirming the regional character of this specific Iron Age sword type.

A mid-length La Tène Celtic sword in the tradition of the Iron Age warrior culture that spread across Europe from approximately 450 BC — bridging the shorter sidearm forms and the full-length slashing swords that are the La Tène’s most celebrated products. The minimalist wooden hilt reflects the organic construction typical of La Tène swords, where the blade was the primary investment of craftsmanship and the hilt made from available natural materials.
