Most of the Roman soldiers referenced in the New Testament would have used a gladius similar to this one. X Fretensis was one of the legions that destroyed the temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D.
It was likely carried by a legionary of Legio X Fretensis, a Roman legion that was stationed in Syria during the time of Christ and the early church. (1). This gladius has deteriorated considerably over the last 2,000 years.
The gladius was a short sword that served as the primary weapon of Roman legionaries for over 700 years, from the fourth century B.C. Along with the ranged pilum, it is one of two Roman weapons in the game.įor the full effects of qualities, see Quality.This iron Roman gladius was discovered near Jerusalem and dates to the first century A.D. Knives also have the advantage of attacking faster, which can train melee skill, and is slightly better for low-accuracy attackers in general.Ī gladius is the classic Roman centurion's shortsword. Gladii are relatively better if you have plasteel readily available, and maces are better if you have uranium.Ī steel gladius of excellent quality or worse is inferior to a normal plasteel knife, such as the one given at the start of the Crashlanded scenario. Against flak vests and recon armor, a steel gladius is even worse than a wooden club.
The mace starts to become stronger when fighting against mid-tier armor, like flak jackets, for the same research and material cost. If you can hold out until the Long Blades research, you can start crafting the numerically superior, but more expensive, spear and longsword.Īs a sharp weapon, its attacks can cause bleeding, but most armor has a higher Sharp% rating. For melee weapons unlocked with Smithing, it is the strongest one against unarmored opponents. The gladius is stronger than a knife or ikwa, but weaker than a spear or longsword, of the same materials and quality. Gladii can also be purchased from any outlander and orbital combat suppliers, or obtained from outlander and pirate raiders. It requires a crafting skill of 3 to craft. Gladii can be crafted at either a fueled smithy or an electric smithy once the Smithing research has been completed with 50 Stuff ( Metallic/ Woody) and 12,000 ticks ( 3.33 mins) of work.
