The Romans primarily used short swords, known as gladii, in close combat situations, benefiting from their design for thrusting rather than slashing. These swords were typically around 20 to 30 inches long, making them ideal for the tight formations of Roman legions, such as the testudo. Soldiers wielded the gladius effectively in hand-to-hand fighting, allowing for quick and precise strikes against enemies in battle. The gladius was a key element of Roman military success, contributing to their dominance in warfare.
