Realistic 3D model of a Roman gladius featuring a shaped wooden hilt and a clean steel blade. The model reflects historically grounded proportions with precise edge flow, refined geometry, and surface definition that highlights the organic character of wood and the polished finish of forged metal. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Roman military assets.
