Bronze Sword

The Bronze Sword was a type of crude sword forged from bronze that was utilized by mercenaries. In 48 BCE, one was wielded by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa during his assassination of Rudjek, a member of the Order of the Ancients.
==Description==
Rudimentary in design and construction, the Bronze Sword was a simple double-edged straight sword which, as its name suggests, was forged from bronze. Like typical swords of the 1st century BCE, such as the Roman gladius, the Bronze Sword lacked a real guard, consisting only of a stop between the hilt and the blade. The blade itself tapered to a sharp point, but overall, it was a crude weapon of poor quality.Assassin's Creed: Origins

==Behind the scenes==
The model of the Bronze Sword, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Origins, is shared by the Thutmosid Sword in the same game, and it was recycled as the model of the Bandit Sword, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and its kind. The model is based mainly on the Achaemenid bronze sword from Hebron and has a typical pommel.Achaemenid bronze sword from Hebron. Images of Ancient Iran: Achaemenid Dynasty (550-330 BCE).
