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.
