Paal_101 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Here's a picture of my new pride and joy, the Pompeii gladius from Find-It-Armories. It is roughly 30 inches long and comes for a very reasonable price, well within the budget of a poor college student. Additionally the Find-It-Armory gladius is highly regarded among reenactors for its accuracy and manufacture. Although not nearly as tough as the Albion gladii, the FIA example is a great starting piece. More Roman equipment to come in the future!Sad part is that I haven't actually held it yet, so if you are wondering, it is my mother holding the piece. In a couple of weeks I should have pictures of myself with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilroyturner Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Wow now that is a cool lookin sword, one that I would like to buy one day down the road. About a year and some months ago I bought a albion squire line viking. I am currently working on making it a wood core scabbard. When I get it done I will have to post a pic of it on here. By the way what other kind of Roman gear do you have for your Roman impression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
