The Mainz gladius is one of the earliest variants of the classic Roman short sword. It appeared around the late 1st century BCE, influenced by the Celtiberian swords that the Romans encountered during the Celtiberian Wars in Hispania. It is characterized by a leaf shaped blade with a pointed tip, ideal for powerful thrusts in close combat. This model was the most common during the Augustan and Tiberian periods, used by legionaries at the dawn of the Roman Empire. It was later replaced by the Pompeii type, which had a shorter, straighter blade. The Mainz gladius marks the transition from Republican to Imperial Roman weaponry.
