 * Gladius is a weapon that almost all of the Romans used during war. It was a sword and over the years Caesar changed the sword and made it look different. The sword was slightly curved and was used for close combat.
 * Besides attack there was also defence. Roman's armor was a tunic and it was created with a combination on iron and leather. Also they had helmets that were made of iron or a copper alloy. They were designed to defend their head, neck, and sides of their head. Also the soldiers used flexible armors to protect their arms and legs. Also for defence they had shields. The shields were made with a wooden border with a copper alloy or iron. The shields were circular, rectangular, or hexagonal.
 * A weapon that the Romans used that were for throwing were spears. There are three types of spears and they are light javelins, thrusting spears, and two-handed lances. The spear was a wooden stick with an arrow shaped peice of stone.
 * Probably the lightest weapon the Romans used were daggers. The daggers were very light and they were very small so soldiers could get around fast and go threw small areas.
