Gladius question

[petrinus]

well whatever it is, yes pugio maybe, i had thought the grove wasnt really historicaly accurate, so it is then...on spatha, semi spatha and pugio, i just would like to know, this is something im trying to become more educated in as i intend to construct/commision a gladius soon, so i want to know whats what obvioulsy. also if i design my own decorative fittings any smith worth his forge ought be able produce them yes, i really want a pompei style gladius with the she wolf and twins and maybe mars on the other side, and ofcourse given my legion affiliation a capricorn, pegasus or vespasian would fit nicely too! thanks again guys, for being the knowledge base!
