Roman Cavalry Sword Low-poly 3D model

cgtrader

These swords draw inspiration from Danish bog finds at Vimose and Illerup dal, dating back to the Third Century CE and manufactured in Roman Gaul - modern France, despite being discovered in Barbaricum. It's possible they were seized as loot during a raid or brought home by Roman army veterans who served as mercenaries or auxiliaries. This type of sword is colloquially known as a 'spatha', longer than the standard Roman infantry short sword, the 'gladius'. Longer swords were popular among Germanic cultures, making them ideal for horseback combat. Six texture variations are included with this model: three 'officer' variants featuring gold and silver handle fittings and pattern-welded blades; and three 'common' variants with bone and wood hilts and plain steel blades. Three scabbard variations, all made of leather with bronze fittings, complete the package. The 'officer' variants are based on swordsmith Patrick Barta's reconstructions. Features: Two low-poly models: a sword and a scabbard Six texture variations for swords, three for scabbards 4096x4096 .png textures for PBR materials, created using a metallic workflow Available in .blend, .fbx, .obj, and .gITF formats; other formats available upon request
