The Kopis: The Chopper That Conquered the World

The Kopis, used in ancient Greece from about the 5th century BC, was a single-edged weapon with a characteristically forward-curving blade. This design shifted the centre of gravity towards the tip, giving the sword devastating chopping power, similar to an axe, while retaining the speed and agility of a short sword. It was the ideal tool for infantrymen who needed to hack through an enemy's shield wall.

Alexander the Great: Ruler of the World

Alexander III of Macedon, known as Alexander the Great (356–323 BC), is considered one of the greatest military geniuses of all time. During his short life, he created a vast empire stretching from Greece through Egypt to India. His armies, armed with Kopis-type swords among other weapons, were virtually invincible. This sword is thus a tribute to his courage, strategic mastery, and undying legend.
