Well no wonder, first off it's that awful Museum Replicas Torture Device that takes 3 other people to hold you down and cram you into that thing, and secondly they probably have no idea about making a subarmalis to make it slightly less uncomfortable...They probably throw that ontop of a cotton tunic or T-shirt at the Ren Faires.
egads...

I bought the'Gladius' as a souvenir when I was in Greece in 2002, and is definitely not what it says, it is covered in Greek symbols, the scabbard that is, and is a cast blade, and is only good for displaying on the window sill, or beating burglars with!
Saying that, it is as well balanced as my current Deepeeka Mainz...
hock: :oops: :lol:
EDIT: Sorry, they have changed the blade shape, but the blade is as long as a mainz!! I think it is just forshortened in the photo

Kinky Segmentata! goes extremely well with the helmet! and if you have a face mask too..........
WOW...... now you only need a latex clad Boudicaea with a giant whip to whip you about the display field!
HAHAHAHAHA
Would be a laugh to see that on an event! (not in the beer-tent mind you!)

I don't think that's the right subligaculum for that subarmalis.
