Really Tony? My information is that Roman swords, at least of the Mainz and Pompeii types, were really very thick- 8-9mm at the midline on average; or are you simply meaning 4-5mm is easiest for the stock removal method of shaping a blade (which one could hardly debate LOL)?
See FABRICA ROMANORVM Recreations in the Marketplace for custom helmets, armour, swords and more!
