Why would you have an alternative for metal swords? Wooden can be as dangerous as (blunt) metal ones.
For swords made for man-to-man combat I would always advice to source a smith you can trust and get them custom made to your wishes. I don't know of any 'of the shelf' Roman swords I would trust for combat use.

Those sonic cracks can make a hole in your hide, though, can't they? Ow! :!:

Sigh. :wink:
