In ancient Rome, a soldier who completed his term of service was presented with a wooden sword, known as a "rudis." This ceremonial sword symbolized his discharge from military duty and his transition to civilian life. It was a recognition of his service and a mark of honor, indicating that he was now free from military obligations.
