HISTORY OF THE GLADIUS & RONDEL DAGGER

The gladius was the primary short sword of Roman legionaries from around 200 BC through the 3rd century AD. Compact, wide, and double-edged, it was designed for close-quarters use and became one of the most iconic blades in military history. The design was later adapted by medieval European soldiers and influenced sword-making traditions for centuries.

The rondel dagger emerged in the 14th century as a standard sidearm for knights and men-at-arms across Europe. Named for the round disc guards at the top and base of the handle, it was favored for its ability to pierce chain mail and plate armor at close range. By the 15th century, nearly every European knight carried one as a backup blade.

Together, the gladius and rondel dagger represent two of the most historically significant blade designs from ancient and medieval history — making the Iron Legion set a meaningful collector's piece for anyone who values the story behind the steel.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a gladius sword?

The gladius was the standard short sword of Roman soldiers, used from around 200 BC to the 3rd century AD. It featured a wide, double-edged blade roughly 18–24 inches long and was designed for close-quarters use. The Iron Legion Gladius in this set is historically inspired by this classic Roman design, adapted with medieval styling and hand-forged carbon steel construction.

What is a rondel dagger?

The rondel dagger was a popular medieval sidearm used across Europe from the 14th to 16th century. It gets its name from the round disc guards (rondels) at the top and bottom of the handle. Knights and men-at-arms carried it as a backup blade. The rondel dagger in this set has a 9-inch tapered blade, 5-inch leather-wrapped handle, and a fitted black leather sheath.

What is included in the Iron Legion Medieval Dagger Set?

The set includes two pieces: a full-size medieval gladius short sword with a black leather scabbard and shoulder strap, and a 14-inch rondel dagger (9-inch blade, 5-inch handle) with its own fitted black leather sheath. Both are hand-forged from carbon steel and finished in a matching satin carbon steel aesthetic.

Is this set good for display or Renaissance fairs?

How do I care for carbon steel blades?
