Bring home a piece of Roman history with the Nydam Roman sword. The sword not only impresses with its excellent design and first-class workmanship , but is also extremely affordable.



This beautiful sword is a replica of an original Roman sword found at Nydam Moor (Nydam Mose), an archaeological site near Sønderborg, Denmark. In the period between 240 and 480 AD it served as a sacrificial marsh and numerous archaeological finds have been made there since the 18th century.
During excavations conducted by the Danish archaeologist Conrad Engelhardt between 1859 and 1863, not only the famous Nydam ship was discovered, but also a large number of weapons. The Danish National Museum, which continued the excavations in 1989, also found additional weapons, such as: e.g. swords, spears and lances. Among these historical finds is also the original of this sword, which is now part of the collection of the archaeological museum at Gottorf Castle in Schleswig.



This beautiful reconstruction of a Roman sword has a blade approximately 74 cm long with two fulling ridges and unsharpened cutting edges. The continuous blade tang is screwed to the end of the handle. The wooden handle offers a secure and comfortable grip. The flattened oval pommel and guard are also made of wood.



The one-handed sword is delivered with a brown wooden/leather scabbard with a plate for the position and the muzzle. So that you can carry the sword comfortably, the sword scabbard is also equipped with a practical wooden belt loop, suitable for belts with a width of approx.



This Roman sword is designed as a collector's item or decorative object and is also ideal as an accessory, for example to complete your costume.
