Acquires Spatha With Sheath (Straubing-nydam Type), 3rd Century.

Late Roman spathe, Straubing-Nydam type



Probably due to barbarian or Germanic influence, the fighting technique and with it the shape of the swords of the Roman legionaries changed towards the end of the 2nd century AD. The blades became significantly longer. The sword was now carried on the left. The spades of the Straubing-Nydam type are slender and long.



Our replica is based on original finds from southern Germany and dates back to the 3rd century.



The blade of the sword is forged from steel. The handle is made of bone and brass. The wooden scabbard is covered with leather and has genuine brass fittings.
