The Roman Gladius was the primary sword for Roman foot soldiers. Early Roman swords were based on the Greek xiphe. From the 3rd century BC the Romans adopted and improved the swords of the Celtiberians in Hispania (modern-day Spain), known as a 'gladius hispaniensis'.

罗马短剑是罗马步兵的主要武器。早期罗马剑以希腊长剑为基础。公元前3世纪起，罗马人采用并改进了伊比利亚半岛（今西班牙）的凯尔蒂贝里亚人之剑，称为“gladius hispaniensis”。

A Roman Legionair was equipped with a gladius (sword), pugio (dagger), scutum (shield), a pila (javelin).

罗马军团士兵装备有短剑（gladius）、匕首（pugio）、盾牌（scutum）、矛枪（pila）。

Gladii were two-edged for cutting and had a tapered point for stabbing. A solid grip was provided by a knobbed hilt added on, possibly with ridges for the fingers. The hilt (capulus) was often ornate.

短剑为双刃，便于切割，尖端逐渐收窄以便刺击。剑柄配有带钮的握柄，可能带有指槽。剑柄（capulus）通常华丽。

The gladius was sheathed in a scabbard mounted on a belt or shoulder strap. A centurion wore it on the opposite side as a mark of distinction.

短剑装在固定在腰带或肩带上的剑鞘中。百夫长通常将其佩在对侧以示区分。

Towards the end of the 2nd century AD and during the 3rd century the spatha gradually replaced the gladius in the Roman Legions.

在公元2世纪末至3世纪，长剑（spatha）逐渐在罗马军团中取代短剑（gladius）。
