Gladius

Gladius is a weapon in the series.
==History==
 is a Latin word meaning "sword," but in its narrow sense it refers to the sword of ancient Roman foot soldiers. Early ancient Roman swords were similar to those of the Greeks. From the 3rd century BC, however, the Romans adopted a sword based on the weapons used by the Celtiberians in Hispania late into the Punic Wars, known in Latin as the gladius hispaniensis, or "Hispanic sword." New types and variants of the gladius, such as the "Mainz gladius" and the "Pompeii gladius," were used since the first century AD, until they were replaced by the spatha in the third century.
A fully equipped Roman legionary after the reforms of was armed with a scutum, one or two javelins, a gladius, often a dagger, and, perhaps in the later empire period, darts.
