Gladius origins from the Celtic Europe and later was adopted by the ancient Romans. After applying the military reforms of Gaius Marius, it became an obligatory element of a basic legionary equipment. This Roman sword was most commonly used for thrusting, cutting and chopping during a battle. It was usually made of steel with diverse amount of carbon content and had a pointed, double-edged blade. For production of the hilt called ?capullus?, ancient Romans used wood, ivory or bronze.

Stabbing with gladius, particularly in the abdominal part of the body, caused death most of the times, so the legionaries very often killed their enemies in that way. It is said that a Macedonian King Philip V was extremely horrified when he saw people defeated with the use of this sword. It shows that gladius stoked respect in the ancient world.
