Hello Folks,
Please forgive me if this question has been asked and answered already.
A certain replica of what is called a "Gladiator's Sword of Pompeii" has gained some media attention lately.
I would like to know if an original of this sword/Gladius is known to exist, and what its background is.
I am hoping your knowledge and expertise can enlighten me. Thank you in advance.
