looks like somebody has decided to take the "iberius" out of "gladius iberius". it's a "spanish" short sword hence the latin word : "iberius" from which you get the "iberian peninsula" where spain is located dumb shits.

The stand needed to be weighted for more effective cutting.

Indeed the gladius was a stabbing-thrusting weapon but that does not mean it could not slash open an opponent (target) as this video demonstrates...and quite well too. Good video I enjoyed that, its nice to see that it is not just the Katana that can be used for tameshirigir or how the hell you pronounce it.
-
very true. I wonder why you have so many thumbs downs
-
well obviously it was still good for slashing...

The gladius was a stabbing wepon not a slashing wepon

"The soldier generally led with his shield and thrust with his sword. Despite the gladius being designed for thrusting at the enemy from behind the protection of the shield, all types of gladius appear to have been suitable for slashing and chopping motions."
