This style of Gladius appeared around the middle of the first century. Based on the Fulham style gladius, it gets its named from a sword that was dredged from the Thames near Fulham, England; and therefore dates to sometime after the invasion and occupation of Briton by Aulus Plautius in 43 AD. The Romans used the Fulham Gladius until the end of the 1st century. It is considered the conjunction point between Mainz and Pompeii blade typologies.
This beautiful Gladius features a reddish maroon coloured scabbard with ornate fittings.
