Leween pugio, Roman dagger

Apart from the rapier ( gladius ), the primary weapon of 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 BC.

This replica features a classic, broad, notched blade with a fuller edge. The handle is composed of several layers of wood, metal, and brass, ingeniously riveted together.
