Romeinse pugio Gaius, type 2, semi-scherp Viking mannenkleding when you are not drinkingThe pugio was a Roman dagger, used as a secondary weapon alongside the gladius in battle. Additionally, it was a practical tool. Politicians also carried them as a symbol of their office, and it was with the pugio that Julius Caesar was assassinated. The pugiones featured a broad, leaf shaped blade with a central ridge. Later pugiones were narrower and had a smaller central ridge.
