Gladius from Mainz

[Rado]

I think I completed the series of the 3 Mainz gladius model (my version).
1.Mainz model with applications under the brackets.
2. Cortesia Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum - Mainz-Dm
The main difference of this model is that the scabbard is entirely sheathed with bronze.In this case I used brass .

I try my best to resemble almost everything from the upper and lower applications .

3.and Gladii from Dubravica.
All they are assembled with similar applications (upper and lower).

A photo flashes and it difficult to see some details that differentiate them.Such as Mainz model with applications under the brackets .To the other two models they are missing!

Аs the very interesting solution for handle "plugging". Which I successfully recreated (I think).Regarding Gladii from Dubravica.

These are probably the most relevant swords for historical reenacting on the period early 1 st century to 70 years and onward. Most accurately applied to the August / Tiberius period. Or by archaeological finds: The offensive of the Roman Empire in the early first century on the upper,middle and lower Danube at the time of Drusus, Germanicus and Tiberius with related Illyrian revolt. As the offensive in North Rhine limes with related uprisings and The Battle of Teutoburg Forest.
