Drusus?

Post by The Gray Guard »

We believe it (drusus) to be a sword similar to a Gladius, but we need more information. If anyone know anything about a Drusus, please e-mail me.

I found a roman general who led troops into Germany from 12-8 BC named Drusus.

the only thing called a drusus I have ever heard of was out of a D&D book. It was some sort of superior quality glaudius. Personally I don't trust anything I see in a D&D book. Studded leather and 15lb. greatswords...

You wouldn't be thinking of a "dussack", would you?

Purpleheart Armoury has a wooden training version, and you can see an illustration on page three of the pdf of Jakob Suter's manual here.
