Spartacus was a slave and a gladiator who became a leader in the uprising against the Roman Republic known as the Third Servile War. Spartacus received training in a Roman army, before becoming a slave. Spartacus and two Gallic gladiators led a riot at a school. Of about two hundred gladiator slaves, less than eighty escaped, using kitchen tools as weapons. In the streets they found wagons of gladiatorial weapons and confiscated them. When soldiers tried to stop the band of escaped slaves, the band used their gladiatorial weapons, easily defeating the soldiers. Then they took the better, military weapons of the beaten soldiers, and set out on their way, collecting over 70,000 slaves. He had shown remarkable skill in creating a force capable of defeating Roman legions.

I'd have to research what kind of steel and hardness is appropriate for a sword capable of combat. What would help on your demo is having two people come to full blows with your swords and show the result to the blades. Cutting through a milk jug doesn't really sell me on it.

@rascalMatt17 All our steel is 1095 high carbon spring steel now. Very hard and durable. You can google 1095 steel to answer most of your questions. Our heat treatment process is described on every one of our product pages at the top. There are also many reviews my customers have done, and you should be able to google them and see them on variou sword forums. Thanks,

I bought a sword from this company a while back and I can assure you that their products are as tough and durable as it gets. Cutting through plastic water filled jugs is just to show the cutting ability of the sword, it's harder than it looks and low quality swords can't do it. My next purchase from them will be this gladius.. I've been looking for the perfect battle ready gladius (that doesn't cost a mortgage note) for years and I finally found it. Too cool!

Rome was a huge empire, there was no set language as the Roman Empire stretchedfrom Britain into Africa and the middl east.

@ArcherOut

Yes 1095 is hard and durable but at HRC 61 it is also more brittle, I too would like to see a destruction test

@ArcherOut Thanks for the feedback... I'll check it out. I'm still interested to see two swords make full on hard contact with eachother and the results to the blades. I'm also aware the Japanese Katana's are a combination of hard and more pliable steel combined and that's where their curved blade comes into play. How does that compare with the construction of these blades or can i find in the product page?
