The Romans have been known to carry, throughout history, a large variety of weapons. This includes all kinds of spears, swords, shields, axes, and clubs the roman soldier class called a legionary carried a short sword for stabbing, and a javelin for throwing. They also wore a leather tunic and a metal helmet and waist-up armor. Archers or some of the poorer infantry men also carried bows and slings. Many solders carried non military issue daggers for personal defense. Many soldiers in Iraq still carry personal defense daggers. also many high ranking marines carry ceremonial sabres at military shows.
