Roman Cavalry Spatha Sword
To begin with, the
Roman Cavalry Spatha Sword is of Celtic origin. This type of Roman cavalry sword generally measures between 65 and 100 centimetres. In order to be used effectively by cavalry, it was later adopted by infantry. The exact measurement of the spatha is not known. It is characterized by a broad blade and a narrow guard.
The 2nd century AD was a time of great change. The short sword disappeared, to be replaced by a cavalry sword, a longer weapon known as the Spatha.
Used in northern Europe for several centuries after the fall of Rome, it was even used by the Vikings between 800 and 1100. In shape and size, the spatha is the evolutionary link between the Roman glaive and the medieval sword.
