Conclusion
It's a very detailed and unique display sword, the engraved imagery displays different related items that correspond with the Roman Empire. It's also a small example of what a real historical accurate gladius would really be like.
I'd seriously recommend the gladius if your a history fanatic and want a small resemblance of something that came out of the Roman Empire.
