Roman Cavalry Sword 3d model

Description:

These swords are based on Danish bog finds from Vimose and Illerup Adal. They date to the Third Century CE and, despite being found in Barbaricum, are Roman in manufacture (probably manufactured in Roman Gaul - modern France). Perhaps they were loot from a raid, but more than likely they were brought home after mercenary or auxiliary service in the Roman army. This is a type of sword colloquially known as a "spatha", which is longer than the common Roman infantry short sword, the "gladius". Longer swords were popular within Germanic cultures, and the extra length would have been useful for fighting on horseback.Six texture variants are included with this model. Three "officer" variants, with gold and silver handle fittings and pattern welded blades; and three "common" variants with bone and wood hilts and plain steel blades. Three variants of scabbard, all leather with bronze fittings, are also included. The "officer" variants are based on reconstructions by swordsmith Patrick Barta.

Features:

Two low polygon models: sword and scabbard
