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 Roman legionary swords changed towards the end of the 2nd century AD. The blades became significantly longer. The sword was now carried on the left. The Straubing-Nydam type spades are thin and long.

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

The sword's blade is forged from steel. The handle is made of bone and brass. The wooden scabbard is covered in leather and features genuine brass fittings.
