The Dubravica Gladius is a meticulous reconstruction of a rare Mainz-type Roman sword discovered in the Danube region near modern-day Serbia. Dating to the Augustan period, this form is closely associated with the movements of Legio IIII Scythica — one of the key Roman legions operating along the Danube frontier. Its distinctive four-ring pommel and classically waisted Mainz blade make it one of the most archaeologically specific Gladius reconstructions Deepeeka produces.

Anglian Feltwell Sword – 5th Century
SKU: AH2009NThe original Feltwell Sword — discovered in 1961 beneath the floor of a Roman villa in Norfolk — survives only in fragments, its hilt long since decayed. This research interpretation embraces that reality, offering a scholarly reconstruction based on what survives, what is plausible, and what current archaeological understanding suggests about early Migration Period swords in Roman Britain. The result is a more academically honest representation of a sword from one of the most uncertain periods in British history.

The Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum in Mainz holds one of the world’s most significant collections of Roman military equipment — including some of the finest surviving Mainz-type Gladii. This replica is based directly on a museum example from the RGZM collection, offering collectors and re-enactors access to one of the most academically rigorous Roman sword reconstructions in Deepeeka’s range.
-
The Nydam type takes its name from the Nydam bog in Denmark, where extraordinary 3rd–4th century Germanic war booty sacrifices preserved an entire arsenal of weapons in remarkable condition. The swords recovered from Nydam represent a crucial archaeological window into the late Roman to early Migration Period transition — the moment when Roman military technology and Germanic craftsmanship blended to produce the swords that would shape the early medieval world.

Dura-Europos was a fortress city on the Euphrates in modern Syria — a crossroads where Roman, Parthian and Sassanid Persian cultures collided for centuries. Destroyed in a catastrophic Sassanid siege in 256–257 AD and buried under desert sand until its rediscovery in the 1920s, the site has been called ‘the Pompeii of the Syrian Desert’ for the extraordinary preservation of its archaeological remains — including this distinctive single-edged dagger.

Silver inlayed Vindonissa Pugio Dagger
SKU: AH3264S4 -
The 2nd century CE was the moment when the Roman army began its long transition away from the short Gladius toward the longer Spatha. This early form captures that transitional character — broader and longer than the Gladius that preceded it, yet not yet the fully evolved cavalry sword of the 3rd and 4th centuries. It was carried during the reigns of Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius — the great soldier-emperors at the Imperial peak.

Roman 3rd Century Podlodow Spatha
SKU: AH2011The Podlodow Spatha takes its name from finds made in the Przeworsk culture region of Poland — territory that lay beyond the Roman frontier. Swords of this type, with their characteristically wide, multi-fullered blades, have been found both within Roman territory and beyond the Limes, suggesting they were produced in Roman workshops and carried into the Barbaricum by soldiers, merchants or Germanic warriors who had served in the Roman army.
-
Based on a specific museum exhibit — catalogue number A482 — this Pompeii Gladius variant features a distinctive triangular blade profile that diverges from the standard parallel-edged Pompeii form, reflecting the genuine variation that existed in Roman sword manufacture. A directly museum-provenance piece for collectors who value traceability to a specific archaeological original.

Late Roman Spatha – Dual Fuller 3rd-4th CE
SKU: AH2001CKThis Late Roman Spatha represents a refined interpretation of Roman sword design from the 3rd to 4th century CE, developed with input from historical researcher Christian Koefer. By the 3rd century CE, the Spatha had displaced the Gladius as the standard sidearm of the Roman legions — first adopted by cavalry for its superior reach, then spreading to the infantry as open-field tactics replaced tight formation fighting. The dual-fullered variants of the 3rd–4th century, known from finds across the Rhine and Danube frontiers, represent the form at its most refined — longer, lighter, and directly ancestral to the early medieval longsword.

Roman Spatha – 2nd Century Cavalry Sword
SKU: AH4221CKA research-based interpretation of the 2nd century Roman Spatha developed in collaboration with historian Christian Koepfer — capturing the sword at the moment of its transition from auxiliary cavalry sidearm to army-wide standard. The 2nd century CE represents the Spatha at its most developed before the later refinements of the 3rd and 4th centuries, and Koepfer’s research grounds this in specific archaeological evidence rather than generalised approximation.

Roman Mainz Gladius – Early Imperial Roman Sword
SKU: AH4209NA straightforward early Imperial Roman Mainz Gladius — the classic waisted blade with broad shoulders and long triangular point that equipped the legions of the Julio-Claudian dynasty at the height of Roman military power. Clean, functional and historically credible, this is a practical working replica of the most iconic legionary sword.
-
A Gladius sitting between the Mainz and Fulham types — straighter blade edges than a true Mainz while retaining the pronounced long point rather than the more compact tip of the Pompeii form. The transitional character of this blade reflects the genuine typological diversity of Roman sword production in the 1st century AD.
-
The classic early Imperial Roman Gladius in its most archaeologically grounded form — the Mainz type as carried by legionaries of the 1st century CE, with its characteristic waisted blade, broad shoulders, long triangular point and the carved hardwood and bone hilt construction documented across multiple legionary site finds.
-
Pompeii Short Gladius – 1st Century AD
SKU: AH4211CKA compact Pompeii-type Gladius developed in collaboration with historian and re-enactor Christian Koepfer — the same academic partnership that produced the acclaimed AH2001CK Spatha. Based on 1st century Roman examples, this shorter blade reflects Koepfer’s research into the practical dimensions of the Pompeii type as carried by ordinary legionaries rather than the officer class.
-
The classic Pompeii Gladius in its most accessible form — the straight-edged, compact thrusting sword that equipped the legions of Imperial Rome at their greatest territorial extent. Simple, stout and dependable, the Pompeii Gladius in this standard form is the sword that brought Rome’s banners to the corners of the known ancient world.
-
Pompeii Gladius – Legionary Version
SKU: AH4211BAn enhanced Pompeii-type Gladius featuring the elevated finish and scabbard decoration associated with a serving legionary’s personal sword — reflecting the investment Roman soldiers made in the quality of their personal equipment. The decorated brass and steel scabbard fittings are based on original finds of surviving Roman scabbard furniture.
-
The Xanten Gladius represents a late-stage evolution of the Roman short sword — dating to the 3rd century CE, a period when the traditional Gladius was gradually giving way to the longer Spatha across the legions. Named after finds from Xanten (ancient Vetera) on the Rhine frontier, it shows the Pompeii-type blade beginning to elongate and thin, pointing toward the Spatha form that would eventually replace it.
-
The Fulham Gladius occupies a unique place in Roman sword history — a transitional form that bridges the earlier Mainz type and the later Pompeii Gladius. Named after the original recovered from the Thames at Fulham, London, it dates to the early Roman occupation of Britain and represents the sidearm of the soldiers who built the first forts from Richborough to the north.
-
Discovered in 1961 beneath the floor of a Roman villa in Feltwell, Norfolk, this sword stands at one of the most dramatic crossroads in British history — the end of Roman Britain and the beginning of the Anglo-Saxon world. Found hidden in the hypocaust, its owner never returned for it. Whether Roman soldier, Germanic federate or early Anglian settler, whoever carried this sword lived through the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
-
The Sword of Tiberius is one of the most celebrated Roman artefacts in existence. Discovered at Mainz and now in the British Museum, its scabbard panels depict the Emperor Tiberius receiving Victory from the gods — a masterpiece of Imperial propaganda in metal. It represents the Gladius not merely as a military tool but as an object of power, prestige and artistic achievement at the height of Roman Imperial rule.

Roman dagger 3rd C
SKU: AH3262 -
The Fulham Gladius bridges two of the great Roman sword forms — the waisted Mainz type and the straight-edged Pompeii Gladius that would follow. Named after a find from the Thames at Fulham, London, it dates to the early Roman presence in Britain following the invasion of 43 AD, making it a sword with a uniquely British connection. Swords of this type were issued to the garrison troops who built the first Roman forts from Richborough to Caerleon.

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 Mainz–Wederath Gladius bridges two of the most important archaeological sword types of the early Imperial period — the Mainz type from the great Rhine legionary fortress and the Wederath find from what is now Germany, which together define the classic waisted blade with tapered tip that equipped Rome’s legions during the 1st century AD.

Leewen Pugio
SKU: AH3264A -
The Roman Cavalry Spatha was the longer sidearm of the Imperial cavalry — adopted first from Celtic and Germanic auxiliary horsemen and progressively replacing the Gladius across the entire army through the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE. This early Imperial version, complete with a baldric for mounted carry, represents the sword at the beginning of its long dominance over the Roman military.

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.

Roman Mainz Gladius
SKU: AH4209A striking Mainz Gladius inspired by the famed Sword of Tiberius — featuring the classic waisted blade and an ornate brass-mounted scabbard that reflects the craftsmanship expected of the legions’ primary sidearm at the height of Imperial power. The most visually dramatic of Deepeeka’s Mainz Gladius range.
-
The Mainz Gladius takes its name from Mogontiacum — the great legionary fortress on the Rhine that was ancient Mainz. Swords of this type were used by Roman legionaries from the 1st century BC through the 1st century AD and have been found across Roman military sites from Britain to the Middle East. With its characteristic waisted blade and long triangular point, the Mainz type is among the most recognisable and archaeologically well-documented of all Roman sword forms.
-
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
SKU: AH4228A Late Republican Roman sword of the Caesarean period — the form carried by the legions of Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars and the civil wars that ended the Republic and inaugurated the Empire.

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.
