We need common sense gladius control.

Nobody *needs* an assault sword

It is a modern sporting sword!

>>34327495
if you can't defend yourself adequately with a dagger then you shouldn't be defending yourself at all

Any pilim shorter than 2 meters MUST be registered and taxed

No one needs more than 1 Gladius

>>34327453
Roman did have prohibitions against open carrying sword inside cities.

>>34327553
I think that's mostly just the pomerium which was more a religious thing.

Do you guys keep a cart sword or is that just a meme? I have a falx that I keep in my cart, but figured I might as well just get a spatha since they're more popular.

>>34327453

How many times have you really used your sword for hunting?

>>34327524
They used daggers. Most of them just have a sword to show off on how better they were than Caesar.

>>34328050


actually they used Styluses, sharp rods used to write on wax tablet.

Caesar was stabbed with the equivalent of ball pens.

>>34327453

also wielding swords in the city -was- prohibited, though not enforced by anyone because Romans didn't have cops until well into the empire when the vigil cohors gained relevance. Generally you didn't carry one because you either were too poor to afford one or too rich to go around without some protection, like your carriage holders, since horses were forbidden in the city too.

Enjoy getting pillaged by shit-eating Gauls, pleb.

True chariots for true Romans.

>>34327453
People back then we're more concerned with bows. Armor was developed primarily to stop the flying stick menace. Think about having an army of highly trained, expensive soldiers and some guy with a bent stick just flings some sharp sticks at them and kills them from a relatively safe distance. There were far more gripes and regulations regarding bows than swords or spears.

>>34327660
This. Spears are for hunting, and they look less scary because they have wood and trees are pretty.

>>34327453
Do you want a ballista?
DO YOU WANT A BALLISTA!?

>>34329305

bows were relatively shit tier back in classic antiquity, sling bullets and javelins were the actual go-to ranged weapon in militaries.

Balearic slingers and Iberian Soliferrums were the scariest things for Romans.

Some of you plebs are alright. Don't go to the Senate tomorrow.

>>34327453
Senatores, I will have ballista, pilum, spatha or hasta if I so chose! But I know why you want to ban the plebs from owning even a simple gladius: All of you have stolen vast latifundia for yourselves, if ever the misera plebs were to become aware of that, the crucifictions at the via appia would would pale ompared to the fate that would await you in the Amphitheatrum....

Reminder that if we simply took any sort of armanent from the filthy savages our leaders insist on letting live in our empire, Magistrate massacres would go down by 100%. Plebians are not people.

>>34330807
>Implying they would not attempt to massacre with rocks and sticks
going to remove those as well? the only true option is to remove the savages from our empire.

When will you Romanfags realise that Dory is superior weapon

Lorica Segmentata is just a meme. With Hamata you get better movement for better price and you can conceal carry under your tunica.
