Julius Caesar and the Sword that Conquered the World

Gaius Julius Caesar (100 BC – 44 BC) was a Roman general and statesman whose military achievements in Gaul extended the Roman Empire to the Atlantic. The key to his legions' success was discipline, tactics, and their primary weapon: the short sword known as the Gladius. It was deadly in tight formations and became the symbol of Roman military dominance. This miniature is a tribute to this iconic combination of a great leader and his effective weapon.

• This is a functional letter opener with a sharp point. Keep it out of the reach of small children.
