Roman Gladius Sword of Caesar (Marto)

Description

Roman Gladius of Caesar by Marto of Spain
Sword Roman Julius Caesar, Mainz type, was used between the second century B.C. and I A.D. Julius Caesar, Gaius Julious Caesar (101 b.C. – 44 b.C.) was the greatest soldier and political leader of ancient Rome.
During his lifetime, the frontiers of the empire were pushed forward and secured; Rome was transformed from a republic into a government with a single ruler, and Caesar was its first dictator. He wrote some of the finest works of history in Latin, describing the campaigns he fought in Gaul and the Civil Wars; he was an architect, a mathematician, and one of the ancient’s world orators.
There is no doubt that Caesar was ambitious and that he enjoyed the great power placed in his hands. It is said that he wished to be crowned king. This was the reason that the conspirators led by Cassius and Brutus gave for his murder: Caesar had become too powerful and danger for the survival of the Republic.
