Leween pugio, Roman dagger

Apart from the rapier ( gladius ), the main weapon of the Roman legionaries was the pugio dagger, worn on the left side of the belt. The pugio has a broad, double-edged blade. This type of weapon was developed in the Iberian Peninsula and was used from the 2nd century BC. From there it entered Roman military equipment. It was the successor to the parazonium . The pugio came into use in the 3rd century.
