Roman Pugio Dagger - 3rd Century

Our 3rd Century Roman Pugio Dagger is a meticulously crafted reproduction of the trusty sidearm used by Roman warriors. The dagger features an unsharpened blade made of high carbon steel, with a distinctive leaf-shaped point and ribbed spine. The hilt is constructed from alternating layers of steel and horn, riveted together for durability. Accompanying the dagger is a wooden scabbard covered in red leather and framed with steel, complete with brass hanging loops.

The pugio was an essential part of a Roman soldier's equipment, serving as a reliable backup weapon in close-quarter combat. While its use declined at the end of the 1st century, a larger form re-emerged during the 3rd century, as exemplified by this replica. The pugio's design made it an ideal thrusting weapon, capable of inflicting significant damage with minimal penetration.
