"How do _I_ know?? Have you ever SEEN a real gladius in minty condition?? "<br>
<br>
No, but the guys who described them and painted pictures of them had. Do you want to assume that ALL of them are lying to us? Or just incompetent?<br>
<br>
We can't prove that the Romans didn't wear swim fins and tutus, either. Heck, at this point, since the artwork, literature, and archeology are all so obviously dubious, we can't even prove that the ROMANS existed! If you want to do whatever you want until someone presents enough proof to change your mind, that ain't history. Sorry, Marsh.<br>
