Roman swords of the Marcomannic Wars
#1
Hello,

I just would like to ask what types of swords are known from this period. Could Roman soldier be still equipped with gladius at this time? I know that spathae and ring-pommel swords were quite popular, but I am not sure about old gladii.
Finally, did soldiers still carry their swords on the right side?

Thank you very much.
