The word gladius in Latin meant sword. Ancient Rome did not invent the famous gladius sword that gave them so many victories, but adapted it from the mercenaries of Hispania in the Punic Wars, the legionaries suffered such a defeat that many Romans refused to continue the fight, which is why after this event they incorporated it into their equipment.

Being double-edged, the gladius was deadly in combat at short distances and measured no more than half a meter, it was a sword designed for close combat, comfortable in battle and was used after the first charge with the spear, a very skilled weapon for fighting with the scutum, the Roman shield.
