Roman soldiers were given equipment upon joining a legion, and would have likely been given a dagger of this type. This replica is based on models used in the 1st century B.C., the century in which Julius Ceasar conquered Gaul. Of interest is the scabbard decoration of Romulus and Remus being nursed by a wolf. Roman Dagger, 1st century B.C. bronze finish, 16" long.
