Gold Roman Dagger Gold Roman Dagger The Romans are known to have borrowed the ideas about weapons from their enemies. Initially they used weapons of Greek or Etruscan style and, when facing the Celts, they adopted their equipment. To defeat the Carthaginians they built a complete fleet based on the Carthaginian model. Once a weapon was adopted it was standardized. Standard weapons were varying throughout the history of Rome, although their equipment and use were never individual. Almost all Roman swords and daggers were double-edged, and could be used both to cut and to skewer. The Pugio was a small dagger used by the ancient Roman soldiers, possibly as an auxiliary weapon. Like other legionaries equipment, the dagger underwent a series of changes throughout the 1st century. It generally had a long, leaf-shaped blade, between 18 and 28 centimeters long and 5 centimeters or more wide. It was an ideal weapon to stab, with a good rush to pierce a chain of mesh.
