This video from the Royal Armouries' Home Learning Hub discusses a remarkably well-preserved Roman Gladius sword, specifically a Pompeii-style blade from the first century. The presenter highlights its use in Roman formations, its effectiveness in close combat due to its stabbing and slashing capabilities, and its historical significance, potentially being used during the suppression of Boudicca's rebellion. Notably, the sword bears inscriptions of two different owners, including a Centurion named Caius Valerius Premis, and another soldier named Caius Reinus, indicating it served at least two Roman soldiers.
