In the third century BC, Rome fought against the Iberian Celts and their iron weapons. They gained so much respect for Celt's short swords that they adopted the design as their own. The sword that eventually conquered most of the then-known world evolved from the Gladius Hispanicus - Spanish sword. Originally a stabbing weapon, the Gladius quickly became a cut-and-thrust sword. With a long point and a slightly "waisted" blade, it is arguably the most elegant Roman sword.
