Original Roman style sword and sheath used in the production of the 2000 Ridley Scott epic Gladiator. Set in Roman times, the story of a once-powerful general forced to become a common gladiator. The emperor’s son is enraged when he is passed over as heir in favor of his father’s favorite general. He kills his father and arranges the murder of the general’s family, and the general is sold into slavery to be trained as a gladiator – but his subsequent popularity in the arena threatens the throne.
The weapon comprises an aluminum blade, a notched wooden grip, a wooden guard and a spherical wooden pommel. Covered in red canvas fabric, the scabbard is also made of wood and features metal band detailing around the top. This set remains in excellent, production used condition.
