Changeover to Gladius Hispaniensis
#3
I'm aware that soldiers provided their own equipment in the mid-Republic. I am curious as to how a weapon changeover was carried out. Scipio, having captured the Spanish fabricae, probably bought and distributed the swords to his soldiers as their patron. But this would not have been the case in the other legions and in future call-ups.
