Pugio Romano, Windlass

Give Pugio Romano, Molinete

Roman pugio, windlass



The distinctive shape of the pugio blade was excellent for hand-to-hand combat and was used throughout the legions. Although civilians did not generally carry swords and knives within the borders of the pax romana, barbarians and bandits could certainly be encountered on the outskirts, and it was in a merchant's best interest to go armed. Undoubtedly, many ancient legionaries found it easier to balance with the familiar weight on their hip while farming in newly acquired territory. The wooden handle is fitted with a fully tempered blade of high-grade carbon steel. Based on remains in the british museum.
